Waterfalls of Karbe

Chutes du Carbet

France, Guadeloupe

Three cascades nestled in the rainforest on the lower slopes of the Soufrière volcano on the island of Guadeloupe, a French overseas department in the Caribbean. These waterfalls were described in 1493 by the famous navigator Christopher Columbus. Today, the Carbet waterfalls are one of the main attractions of Guadeloupe. The height of the highest of them reaches 125 meters. Getting to it is not easy: you have to overcome a long and steep climb. At the same time, the most visited is the second highest cascade (110 meters), to which a paved path leads, equipped with the National Park of Guadeloupe. There are hot springs around this waterfall. The third waterfall is only 20 meters high, but it is the most powerful of all. Only experienced tourists can get to it, and only on foot.

The most beautiful waterfall in Guadeloupe

We go to the 3rd waterfall - Les chutes du Carbet (Chutes du Carbet waterfalls). Turn on it in the CapesterreBelleEau area. Again, we climb the mountains by car ...Here is the parking lot. See information poster. So, the road is 2 hours (there and back). True, there is an announcement that the waterfall is closed to tourists. But we are already shot wolves. Firstly, there are already 15 cars in the parking lot. Secondly, the announcement is in French, and we are not required to know it))). The trail goes through the jungle, nothing complicated, practically - a boulevard.→

Chute du Carbet waterfalls: 1st and 2nd

A visit to the waterfalls is paid (1 euro). OK. At the same time, we are told that only the second waterfall is available, the first one is closed. We are not very upset - the second one, although lower by 5 meters, is more beautiful. In addition, you need to walk to the first one from the second one and a half hours ...Right next to the entrance you can see two waterfalls at once, although in the distance. The walk through the jungle to the second waterfall takes 30 minutes. This is exactly a walk, not a hike - the path is so equipped - just some kind of boulevard.→
