GPX track of the hike to go to Saut de la Lézarde, Guadeloupe without getting lost. The hike itself is not long but is quite muddy with a steep gradient. The waterfall is magnificent, probably one of the most beautiful in Guadeloupe. However, this hike is officially closed to the public. Indeed, there have already been deaths, notably in 2021 , due to a flash flood. I have also already seen an accident near the waterfall. The track is provided for information purposes.
