Breathtaking Coastal Hike in Guadeloupe

Hiking in Guadeloupe = my happy place.⁠ *⁠ I think my jaw actually dropped when I came to the first viewpoint along the Trece Des Felices trail in Guadeloupe.⁠ The 11-kilometer hiking trail is rated as “difficult,” and takes you about 4.5 hours through Les Portlands (“The Portlands”), an area offering stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean.⁠ *⁠ When you start your hike, you’ll immediately see a beach with a lagoon. While the water is calm, the name “Gate of Hell” comes from the more violent waters toward the mouth of the lagoon. ⁠ *⁠ About 10 minutes into your walk you’ll come to a rocky outcropping that looks like the type of landscape you’d find in outer space, with pockmarked limestone rising and twisting in jagged tufts from the ground. ⁠ *⁠ Looking to the right and left, jagged cliffside juts out from the elevated coastline, with crashing waves below offering a glimpse of Mother Nature’s artwork at its finest.⁠ *⁠ Have you ever been hiking the Caribbean? #BeyondTheGuidebook⁠ ___⁠ *⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #Guadeloupe #AnseBertrand #GuadeloupeTravel #FemaleTravelBloggers #SoloFemaleTravel #CaribbeanTravel #GuadeloupeIslands #FranceTravel #VisitGuadeloupe #PassportVoyager #SeaViews #AzureWater #worldsbesthikes #worldsbesttrails #coastalhike #basseterre #basseterreguadeloupe #CaribbeanLife #SeaViews #AzureWater #WorldsBestBeaches #CaribbeanBeaches ⁠ #hiking👣 #letsgohiking #hikingisfun #ilovehiking ⁠ #wheretohike #besthiking ⁠
