Walking - Galbas trail

In the Sainte-Rose hills, a chance to explore the forest on a great hiking circuit.
Follow the gently climbing forest path after the starting panel for the "Tête Allègre" trail. After the vanilla plantation, the terrain is hilly. Then gradually the slope climbs to become very steep before the intersection with the Tête Allègre trail. Turn right at the panel, then right again at the intersection with Le Saut des Trois Cornes. Continue along the path winding its way down between the trees and several blocks of stone. Cross the gully, then walk along it. At the intersection head to the right (take care, to the left there is a forest track), walking up the little slope before going down and crossing a second gully.
Go up the slope on the earth steps, turn right, then follow the crest as far as the forest path. Turn right again to return to the starting point.
The trail is slippery and very muddy in rainy weather.
Don't begin the hike after 3 pm, since night falls quickly in the undergrowth.
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.
