Rando Guadeloupe

There is an information board at the start showing you a map of all the major places on the hike. Keep going on the small track which heads down. Keep going on the path on the side of the field and then continue through the forest. Half way through the trail, cross a small ravine. Keep going on the wide path. You will then be quite close to the end of the trail, where you can discover the site of the Bassin Bleu and its waterfall. After taking some time to enjoy the site, head back again. Follow the same path on your return until you reach the parking area.

Start discovering Bassin Bleu by going for a stroll through the forest. A hike accessible for the whole family !

Acnistus arborescens is a member of the Solanaceae family. It is recognisable for its large clusters of white flowers which turn into clusters of red fruits.

Acnistus arborescens

On the way to le Bassin Bleu, there are two very striking trees on the right-hand side of the trail : an Amanoa caribeae, with its impressive buttresses, and a Symphonia globulifera, which is recognisable for its stilt roots. This tree produces seeds that bear a resemblance to nutmeg. They also exude a fluorescent yellow latex.

The Bois Blanc ravine

Le Bassin Bleu and its beautiful waterfall, flowing from a slide carved into the rock. The site was formerly a catchment site for drinking water.
