The Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe was
discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and has been an integral part of
France since 1816. French, African and East and West Indian influences have
created a fascinating blend of Creole language, French colonial and Antillean
architecture, and the distinctive Gwoka music - plus tropical fruits,
delicious seafood, excellent local rums and imported French wines. Our journey begins on Antigua, exploring the 18C British maritime heritage, before we island hop to the neighbouring islands of Guadeloupe. Walks in the mountain forests and along scenic coastal paths in the National Parks are complemented by superb snorkelling and swimming, a whale and dolphin watching trip, a morning exploring the colourful markets and museum of Pointe-a-Pitre and visits to coffee and cocoa plantation houses. Hummingbirds hover over the luxuriant tropical flowers, magnificent frigate birds patrol the beaches and the alizés (tradewinds) keep the temperature a pleasant 80°.......... |
