For those just looking for sun, sand and palm trees, most any tropical island will do. However, if you
want to experience the Caribbean's most spectacular natural beauty and diversity, go to the magical island of Guadaloupe. Located
in the French West Indies, just southeast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, this place of legendary beauty has inspired travelers
throughout the centuries.
Explore dramatic rain forests, towering waterfalls and exotic lagoons teeming with technicolor fish. Discover
magnificent, unspoiled beaches with warm waters as clear as glass. Charming seaside villages, captivating boutiques and fascinating
historical sites await your arrival. Guadeloupe's local culture is diverse, ranging from distinguished Nobel laureate authors to the
creators of popular Zouk music; from legendary cuisiniéres (cooks) to artists creating unique works in ateliers (workshops), there
is much to experience and celebrate in Guadeloupe. Colorful festivals are held throughout the year and performances of traditional
music and dance are regularly scheduled. Art galleries, museums and fascinating historical sites abound.
