Trou à Diable Waterfall in Guadeloupe: a Beautiful but Prohibited Hike
Trou à Diable Waterfall, nestled in the heart of Bouillante in Guadeloupe, is a natural wonder that attracts hiking enthusiasts. Set between two rock walls, this waterfall offers a peaceful and impressive setting. However, access is currently restricted because of landslides and safety risks for hikers.
A Short Hike
The hike to Trou à Diable Waterfall is not long: allow about 30 minutes to reach the waterfall. The start follows a relatively easy forest trail, offering a quick immersion into Guadeloupe's tropical nature.
Near the waterfall, the route changes: a concrete path and an iron ladder help you cross the more difficult sections. The final meters are directly in the river on potentially slippery rocks, so hiking shoes are strongly recommended.
A Fragile and Regulated Natural Site
Trou à Diable Waterfall is located in an area where water is collected for Bouillante's drinking water supply. Recent landslides have also led to the closure of access to the waterfall. It is essential to check the current trail status before considering this hike in order to avoid unnecessary risk.
Despite these restrictions, Trou à Diable remains a hidden gem for nature lovers, with a unique atmosphere and a beautiful natural setting.
Tip: if access is too risky, explore other waterfalls around Bouillante, such as Beaugendre waterfall, Birloton waterfall or Bois Malaisé waterfall, to complete your day.
