THE
ISLAND'S TEN MOST
ROMANTIC SPOTS
- Leave the 21st century behind as you and your loved
one explore the most beautiful rainforests of the Lesser
Antilles in the National Park of Guadeloupe deep in the
mountains of Basse-Terre.
- Swim and picnic at La Cascade aux Ecrevisses. It's
just two minutes from the Route de la Traversee to this
waterfall that cascades into the Corossol River.
- It's happy trails to you on Guadeloupe where three
easy trails run around the House of the Forest along the
Route de la Traversee. Here, couples can explore the rainforest
with its West Indian hardwoods, tropical chestnut trees,
ferns and creepers.
- Carbet Waterfalls offers the fun of hiking with the
beauty of three natural waterfalls as your reward. The
falls are accessed via Capesterre-Belle-Eau in the village
of Saint-Sauveur and how many waterfalls you visit depends
on your hiking stamina.
- It's an easy one-hour
hiking tour around the Grand Etang. The natural sights
include moorhen, kios and gigantic bamboos.
- Awesome is the only way
to describe the view from Soufriere, the crater of an
active volcano. Hand-in-hand, couples start from Savane-a-Mulets,
hiking for about 11/2 hours in air redolent with the smell
of sulphur. However, when you reach your destination and
the clouds open up, the view is well worth the effort.
- Pack a picnic and head for the pebble beach of Saut
de la Lezarde near Vernou in the village of Glaciere.
You descend through a banana plantation and then make
your way through a rainforest to a waterfall and finally
the beach. It's a grand spot that was designed by nature
with honeymooners in mind.
- You'll feel like the hero and heroine in a 19th-century
English novel as you and your mate stand on the cliffs
at the tip of the Grande Vigie watching the breakers crash
on shore. And on a clear day, the islands of Desirade,
Montserrat and Antigua are visible.
- Beaches of every character and color at your disposal
on Guadeloupe, from the powder white sands on Grande-Terre
to the golden brown shores on the leeward coast and the
black volcanic sand on the west end of Basse-Terre.
- Take time out from your island exploring to enjoy a
leisurely lunch overlooking the water at any one of Gaudeloupe's
quaint outdoor cafes.
