Chutes Moreau, Waterfall in Goyave, Guadeloupe.
Chutes Moreau is a waterfall comprising three separate cascades flowing through dense tropical forest within Guadeloupe National Park. The falls drop dramatically through the landscape, fed by the area's consistently high rainfall throughout the year.
Early cartography of the area placed these waterfalls on an incorrect ravine name, creating confusion about their true location. Modern surveys have since verified their actual position, correcting the historical mapping error.
The National Park maintains panels along the trail that explain tropical forest ecology to visitors passing through. Locals regard this spot as a natural retreat where people can experience the island's wilderness firsthand.
The path to reach the site is demanding and requires sturdy footwear along with careful navigation through river crossings. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions and understand that the trek involves significant physical effort.
The zone supports specialized plant species adapted to the area's extreme moisture and heavy rainfall conditions. These rare plants thrive only in a few places on the island where conditions reach such intensity.
