What to visit in Guadeloupe in 3 weeks?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s true that many people plan a trip of around 10 days to discover Guadeloupe, but before you set off, there are a few things you should bear in mind, as this French overseas department is large and offers an incredible variety of landscapes. It would be a pity to rush your trip or to want to see everything and miss out on certain places or visits. Guadeloupe is the largest island in the French West Indies<\/strong>. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. The two main islands of the Guadeloupe archipelago form a butterfly-like shape (hence the nickname), separated by a narrow inlet called the Rivi\u00e8re Sal\u00e9e. On the east wing, you have Grande Terre and the capital Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre. It’s the island where there’s the most life, with big cities and markets, but also more touristy places, heavenly beaches, numerous coves, and nearby islands such as Petite-Terre and La D\u00e9sirade. Then there’s Basse-Terre, much wilder, mountainous and verdant, with its tropical forests, volcano (La Soufri\u00e8re), waterfalls and beautiful walks. Opposite are Marie-Galante and Les Saintes.<\/p>\n

You must first ask yourself the right questions<\/strong>: when is the best time to go to Guadeloupe? Do you like hot weather, humidity, tropical temperatures, crowded beaches, hiking, etc.? Travelling between December and May does not have the same impact as travelling between June and August. Do you travel with your family, as a couple or with friends? There are many things to do and many ways to organize your trip.<\/p>\n

There are those who want to settle down in a single location, renting a car to travel around Grande-Terre but also getting to Basse-Terre in a day. There are those who want to stay only on Grande-Terre to enjoy Guadeloupe’s beautiful beaches. Finally, there are those who will do as we did, staying a few nights in various places to avoid getting up very early and running around. In my opinion, this is the best way to travel in Guadeloupe!<\/p>\n
