Third Carbet Waterfall in Guadeloupe: Access, Difficulty and Safety Guide
The Third Carbet Waterfall is one of the three emblematic waterfalls of Guadeloupe National Park. At about 20 meters high, it is smaller than the first two Carbet Falls, but its wild setting and powerful flow make it a memorable rainforest hike.
Unlike the First Carbet Waterfall and the Second Carbet Waterfall, this route starts from Capesterre-Belle-Eau and not from the main Carbet Falls reception area. Access has also been prohibited by the municipality for several years because of landslides, so check the latest local information before going.
