Les chutes du Carbet is a geological three tier waterfalls formation on the Carbet River in Guadeloupe, in the eastern Caribbean. Its in the middle of the tropical rainforests by the La Soufrière volcano. If there is renewed activity in the volcano, the trails are closed. Approximately 400,000 people visit the falls annually. There is a very small entrance fee. Details on each waterfall follow. We visited the Premier and the Second Waterfalls on our visit.
Premier Waterfall
377 ft drop
Trail - long and steep with plenty of rock climbing. 7 miles. Plan 6 hours for this hike. Very Difficult. Dangerous.

Second Waterfall
