1 - Discover the extraordinary biodiversity of the island:

The islands of Guadeloupe form an archipelago all in contrast, if Grande-Terre is a limestone plateau with little relief, Basse-Terre is on the contrary volcanic and hilly. These differences make the richness of the archipelago and its unique biodiversity where fauna and flora unite to form a magnificent ecosystem. To fully appreciate this, there is nothing like exploring the islands and visiting its parks and gardens. We particularly recommend the : Zoo of Guadeloupe: Located on the Route de la Traversée in the heart of Basse-Terre, the Zoo of Guadeloupe is a visit not to be missed. You will discover the fauna and flora of the Antilles and Guyana. Fun and ideal for families, you will love this park in the middle of nature.
