Rando Guadeloupe

Go into the undergrowth and begin the descent through the dry rainforest, following the yellow waymarkers to reach the coast. Climb down to the rocky beach and walk along the coastline through the rocks for approximately 300 m (see the range of colours in the rock formations). Climb back up in the undergrowth on the left, up to reach a tufa (limestone) track. Turn left, passing the carbet, to reach the Chemin de Croix; then continue to the left to return to the starting point.

Following the Great North trail is like taking a journey through the strata and geological eras which shaped the formation of the Désirade.

When coming out of the undergrowth, on the left, a carbet can offer a relaxing break.
