Hiking - Third Carbet Waterfall

The hike is a chance to explore the Petit Marquisat rain forest with plenty of information panels.

This is quite an easy trail, but very muddy, despite a large number of pathways that have been laid down. The trail goes through a Mahogany plantation, planted in the 1950s and 60s.
Please note: a bylaw forbids access to the section after the platform and so to the 3rd Carbet Waterfall. This description is limited to the authorised sections, without the last part.

The trail begins on a wide paved footpath, before you arrive at a small footbridge with two large information panels on either side. This is where the muddy part of the trail begins, but with many sections that have been adapted to hikers. A yellow sign shows there are 45 minutes to go.
After 35 minutes on this path (and crossing a gully two-thirds of the way along), you arrive at a fork towards the 2nd Waterfall and a disused karbay (with no table). From this point, the descent towards the ONF platform begins. The trail stops here (municipal bylaw).
You go back the same way.

Take a good pair of shoes, water, a snack and a complete change of clothing.
In this natural setting, you should be particularly careful and alert, since Guadeloupe is subject to natural risks. It is vital to act in a responsible way, so that everyone can enjoy the hike!
Please note: unsupervised car park.
