Guadeloupe Family Travel Tips


Family Overview: Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe, the French Caribbean's butterfly-shaped archipelago, consists of two main islands. Grande-Terre to the east contains the major resort area and the popular city Pointe-a-Pitre; Basse-Terre, to the west, has mountainous terrain with primeval rainforest, towering waterfalls, and a 4,813-foot active volcano, La Soufriere. Other islands in the chain include Marie-Galante to the southeast, La Désirade to the east, and Saintes Islands—Terre d'en Haut and Terre d'en Bas—to the south. A bridge over the Rivière Salée joins the two main islands. Most visitors arrive in Pointe-a-Pitre, a busy city with a French provincial feel and a selection of outdoor markets. Unlike many Caribbean islands famous for either beaches or lush, mountainous rainforests, Guadeloupe has both, drawing hikers and divers to its rich natural treasures. Read More
