Description

Paradis Gorge Waterfall is located in the town of Vieux-Habitants. Important not to confuse it with Paradise, a small waterfall below the Carbet waterfalls, in Capesterre-Belle-Eau. The most beautiful easily accessible waterfall in the city, it stands out for its wall decorated with basalt columns; its pond, a true bathtub in which it is worth immersing; and its bubbling fall as a backdrop, descending forcefully on the rocky plane over which it rests. 

This gorge is a tributary of the Grande Rivière de Vieux-Habitants, the jewel of the city and undoubtedly the most beautiful river in Guadeloupe. 

Biodiversity

The Grande Rivière valley is the longest, most beautiful and richest on the Leeward Coast. Beginning at the foot of Matéliane and Sans-Toucher, in the extreme north, it crosses the central part of Basse-Terre and its beautiful tropical forest, a melting pot of the diversity of living beings.
