Guadeloupe

A butterfly resting on the Atlantic, Guadeloupe is split in two. Grande-Terre, with its fine sandy beaches, coral reefs, and marinas, is the island’s tourism hub. Basse-Terre, the mountainous side, is dominated by La Soufrière and boasts lush nature, tree ferns, waterfalls, bubbling springs, sulfurous waters, and flowers in a thousand colors.
