Description

Let me guide you on a beautiful hike up to Mount Pelée’s caldeira. It the most iconic volcano in Martinique!

The island of Martinique is an overseas region of France located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It’s known worldwide for its beautiful beaches, with white sand and crystal clear water. But it’s also widely recognized for its    network of hiking trails.

Mount Pelée (1397 m) is the highest and most emblematic volcano to hike. It’s active but hasn’t erupted since 1902. It’s located at the northern end of the island and, due to its altitude, you can see both the Atlantic and Caribbean seas as you hike up.

On this occasion, I offer to take you up to the volcano’s caldeira. The trail is the same we use to get to the volcano’s summit but we just don’t go as high. On the way up, you’ll enjoy the most unforgettable views and, once at the caldeira, you’ll get to wander around the volcano. Durantion: 4 or 5 hours.Take into account that this hike is quite demanding: you need to be comfortable with steep, uneven and sometimes muddy or slippery terrain.

You´ll need good hiking boots (please note that tennis shoes are not enough) and a light vest in case it gets cold as we ascend. Make sure you also bring at least 1 litre of water to make sure you stay hydrated.

This 1-day ascent Mount Pelée’s caldeira is a great way to discover the most beautiful spots on this paradise island. Send me a request now and we’ll start organizing your trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our hike in the rain forest of Martinique! We'd expected the enjoy the scenery, mostly, but got so much more than that. Fabrice kept us fascinated with the botany of the forest, the history of Martinique, as well as the scenery (of course!). And Fabrice did a great job of setting a pace that was appropriate for everybody's comfort level on the sometimes steep, sometimes slippery trail.
