1.50 \u20ac for groups (8 people or more)<\/li><\/ul>\n\nOnce you’ve parked at the parking lot, follow the path on foot. It’s very well signposted. It’s a beautiful 3-hour round-trip hike, in a colorful landscape of orange-red rocks where the sulfurous waters of La Soufri\u00e8re trickle down. <\/p>\n\n
Remember to take good walking shoes to feel comfortable on the steep path, which is often slippery. Crossing the ravine Longueteau can be difficult, especially if it has rained shortly beforehand. <\/p>\n\n
The spectacle of the first Chute du Carbet is spectacular: the jump is 115 metres high! You’re sure to get some spectacular shots! <\/p>\n\n
The second Chute du Carbet, easy to reach<\/h2>\n\n
It’s the most accessible waterfall, which means it’s also the most popular with tourists. <\/p>\n\n
The starting point is the same as for the first Chute du Carbet.<\/p>\n\n
Allow just 45 minutes round trip from the parking lot. The trail is fully surfaced with concrete. It is even accessible to people with reduced mobility. <\/p>\n\n
You’ll be walking through the rainforest, to the song of the many birds.<\/p>\n\n
The 110-metre-high second Chute du Carbet is sure to take your breath away.<\/p>\n\n
The basin that receives the water from the waterfall has shrunk as a result of rockfalls. Access to it is now forbidden, as it is too dangerous. The water in this basin could reach 42\u00b0! It is under surveillance to assess the volcano’s activity. <\/p>\n\n

The third and most powerful Chute du Carbet<\/h2>\n\n
The third Chute du Carbet is outside the Guadeloupe National Park. You can park in the parking lot just outside Capesterre, in the direction of Routhiers. Access to this waterfall is free! <\/p>\n\n
Although the third Chute du Carbet is only 20 metres high, you’ll be impressed by its powerful flow. It’s the highest in Guadeloupe. <\/p>\n\n
The icing on the cake: the waterfall flows into a sublime circular pool, where you can finally take a dip. It’s a well-deserved reward after the 2.5-hour walk to the waterfall. The hike is difficult and best suited to experienced walkers. <\/p>\n\n
Be careful when bathing, however, not to get too close to the waterfall’s spray, which may surprise you with its force.<\/p>\n\n
If you like peace and quiet, you’ll feel right at home here, which is less frequented by tourists.<\/p>\n\n
Be sure to ask before you go, as access to this waterfall may be closed due to landslides.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
Le Grand \u00c9tang, ideal for families<\/h2>\n\n
You can’t come to the Chutes du Carbet and not stop off at the Grand \u00c9tang! You can get there by parking in the hamlet of Habitu\u00e9e, on the D4. <\/p>\n\n
The Chutes du Carbet are dotted with small ponds and mountain lakes. Here you’ll discover a wealth of flora and fauna, including exotic plants, endemic birds, fish and ouassous shrimp. <\/p>\n\n
We recommend the easy 1.5-hour Grand-\u00c9tang walk. You’ll enjoy doing it with the whole family. The trail allows you to discover the characteristics of the dense tropical forest, in an accessible and scenic atmosphere that is unique on the island. There are even picnic areas available. <\/p>\n\n
