Hiking - Etangs circular trail

A splendid, challenging trail from one pond to the next. There are numerous birds to see here, so it really is worth stopping off to enjoy some bird spotting and to listen to them in all their glory.

Hiking trail colour: yellow

Follow the concrete path leading from the car park. Go up to the Grand Etang to enjoy the great views. Turn back and walk for a few metres and then turn left towards l'Etang As-de-Pique.
At the three intersections that follow, head in the same direction (right twice and straight on once). Once you get to l'Etang As-de-Pique, walk along it from the left. Enjoy the views marked out by the sign "Etang As-de-Pique". Turn around and head back down to the previous intersection. Turn right to reach l'Etang Roche. Walk alongside the pond, making sure to follow the trail that continues until l'Etang Madère. Turn left at the next intersection and then right and finally left to return to the concrete road. Keep going up until you reach the parking area. Both at the start and at the end points you can join the Grand Etang tour.
N.B. The numbered info markers correspond to detailed and illustrated information which can be found in the "Grand Etang Discovery Guide".

As Guadeloupe is prone to natural risks, extra care should be taken in this natural environment. For the benefit of all hikers, responsible behaviour is very important.
Warning : the parking area is unsupervised.
