Introduction to Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is part of the Lesser
Antilles, about 322km (200 miles) north of Martinique. It actually
comprises two different islands, separated by a narrow seawater
channel known as the Rivi?e Sal?. Grande-Terre, the eastern
island, is full of rolling hills and sugar plantations. Basse-Terre,
to the west, is a rugged mountainous island, dominated by the 1,440m
(4,723-ft.) volcano, La Soufri?e, which is still alive and dotted
with banana plantations. Guadeloupe's mountains are covered with
tropical forests, impenetrable in many places. Beautiful white-sand
beaches ring its islands. In the unlikely event that you should grow
bored on Guadeloupe, you can hop over to really remote islands
offshore, including Iles des Saintes and Marie-Galante.
