Pointe-a-Pitre, Gvadalupa

Ovaj klasični posjet pružit će vam priliku da otkrijete naš otok u obliku leptira. Započet ćete na bujnom vulkanskom otoku Basse-Terre, gdje će vas slikovite ceste voditi kroz raskošnu vegetaciju i tropske prirodne krajolike. Najprije ćete prijeći Nacionalni park Guadeloupe s njegovom gustom tropskom šumom i uživati u osvježavajućem slapu Cascade aux Écrevisses. Nakon toga slijedi botanički vrt Domaine de Valombreuse, koji će vas očarati iznimnim bogatstvom: ovdje ćete uživati u primarnoj šumi, obližnjim orhidejama i stablima kakaovca, palminom gaju i spektakularnim egzotičnim biljkama. Zatim ćete na Grande Terreu posjetiti povijesnu znamenitost Fort Fleur d Epée, odakle se pruža pogled na druge otoke arhipelaga. Nakon posljednjeg zaustavljanja za fotografiranje u središtu Gosiera, vratit ćete se svom brodu koji vas čeka.

Južnim dijelom otoka Basse-Terre dominira vulkan La Soufrière, koji se uzdiže do 1467 m usred kišne šume Guadeloupea. Ondje se nalaze i slapovi Carbet, glavni vrhunac ove ture. Nakon ukrcaja u autobus u luci Pointe-à-Pitre, putovanje do slapova - koji se sastoje od tri odvojene kaskade - najprije će vas provesti kroz regiju Capesterre-Belle-Eau do hinduističkog hrama otoka, svjedočanstva multietničkog društva Guadeloupea. Na ovom mjestu bogoslužja bit će zaustavljanje za fotografiranje, nakon čega se ruta nastavlja ravno u kišnu šumu i do srednjeg slapa visokog 110 m. Šetnja će vas zatim dovesti do vidikovca, s kojeg se pružaju pogledi na kaskadu dok se probija kroz gustu vegetaciju. Sunce na vodi koja se prelijeva niz planinsku padinu savršen je trenutak za fotografiju, stoga ne zaboravite ponijeti fotoaparat. Tura se zatim lagano privodi kraju povratkom na brod. Gosti moraju imati najmanje 7 godina za sudjelovanje.

Napomena: iz sigurnosnih razloga, izravan pristup slapovima i bazenu zabranjen je odlukom uprave Nacionalnog parka od 2004. Tura nije dostupna gostima s poteškoćama u kretanju. Gostima se preporučuje udobna odjeća. Pristup vidikovcu zahtijeva približno 1,6 milja hodanja u svakom smjeru i uključuje hodanje po neravnom terenu te uspon/spust po približno 400 stepenica. Gosti moraju imati najmanje 7 godina za sudjelovanje. Obavezno je nositi zatvorene cipele. <-p> <-p>

Na putu prema ribarskom selu Deshaies, tura polazi iz luke Pointe à Pitre i kreće u sjeverni dio otoka Basse-Terre. Tijekom približno jednosatne vožnje kroz plantaže šećerne trske zaustavit ćete se kako biste se divili plaži Grande Anse i fotografirali je, prije nastavka prema Botaničkom vrtu na Karibima: le Jardin Botanique de Deshaies. Ovdje ćete provesti približno 1 sat i 30 minuta istražujući i promatrajući razne vrste cvijeća i biljaka s cijelih Kariba: pravo mjesto za ljubitelje prirode. Pogledajte flamingose u jezercu, aleju bugenvilija, orhideje, vrtove kaktusa i volijeru među brojnim atrakcijama.

Ova tura otokom Grande-Terre počinje kratkom vožnjom do jednog od ključnih povijesnih spomenika Guadeloupea, tvrđave Fort Fleur d épée iz sredine 18. stoljeća. Smještena visoko iznad obalnog grada Le Gosier na južnim obalama Grand-Terrea, tvrđava je nekoć imala ključnu ulogu u Sedmogodišnjem ratu između Francuske i Velike Britanije, a danas se koristi za privremene umjetničke izložbe. Nastavljajući dalje, zaustavit ćete se u samom Le Gosieru radi pogleda na jedan od najpopularnijih prizora Guadeloupea za fotografiranje: Îlet du Gosier. Smješten na vrlo maloj udaljenosti od obale, ovaj maleni koraljni otočić dom je lelujavih palmi i lijepog svjetionika. Napuštajući Le Gosier, stići ćete u Sainte Anne za zaustavljanje u Village Artisanal na morskoj obali. Dok zatim prolazite vegetacijom prekrivenom regijom Le Grands Fonds u Sainte-Anneu, krenut ćete prema završnom zaustavljanju za fotografiranje na groblju, poznatom po crno-bijelim šahovskim grobnicama, prije povratka na brod.

Vožnja južnom obalom dovest će vas do St. Françoisa i njegovih blaga. Nastavite istočno obalnom cestom do Pointe des Châteaux, stijenske formacije koju je vjetar oblikovao tako da nalikuje kruništima dvorca. Šetnja će vas odvesti do najviše točke, odakle ćete uhvatiti poglede na susjedne karipske otoke - savršeno za jednu ili dvije fotografije. Kako se izlet nastavlja, zaustavit ćete se na piću prije odlaska u Morne-à-L Eau, grad zanimljivo poznat po umjetničkom groblju koje predstavlja jedinstvenu crno-bijelu arhitekturu Zapadne Indije (fotografiranje iz autobusa). Kratka vožnja zatim će vas od Morne-à-L Eau vratiti na brod. Gosti moraju imati najmanje 4 godine za sudjelovanje.

Napomena: staza do Pointe des Châteaux uključuje uspon/spust po približno 400 stepenica. Zbog sigurnosnih razloga, uspon do križa ovisi o vremenskim uvjetima. Staza koja vodi do Pointe des Châteaux mjestimice je uska i uključuje strme stepenice. Također može postati blatna i skliska. Gostima se preporučuje ponijeti bocu vode na turu i prikladne cipele (bez japanki ili sandala). Gosti moraju imati najmanje 4 godine za sudjelovanje. Redoslijed zaustavljanja može varirati. <-p> <-p>
