Bassin Paradis, Natural pool in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe
Bassin Paradis features a pool with waterfalls formed by the Grosse Corde river, creating an environment surrounded by dense tropical forest.
The National Park of Guadeloupe developed marked pathways and infrastructure around Bassin Paradis to facilitate public access while preserving natural resources.
Local residents regularly gather at this natural swimming spot on weekends, maintaining connections with traditional river bathing practices in Guadeloupe.
A 15-minute hike starting with steep stairs leads visitors from the parking area near Carbet Falls to the natural pool location.
The site contains two distinct thermal water areas: one reaching 32°C downstream and another at 39°C located 200 meters upstream from the main pool.

Guadeloupe has many surprises beyond its main beaches and usual tourist sites. The archipelago hosts places where nature and history come together: waterfalls hidden in the rainforest such as Acomat in Pointe-Noire, spectacular geological formations like the Gullet Grand Gouffre in Marie-Galante where sea jets reach over ten meters high, or beaches with distinct features like Anse du Souffleur in Port-Louis with its calm, shallow waters, or Cluny Beach in Sainte-Rose lined with dark volcanic rocks. These lesser-known sites also tell the story of the archipelago. The Slave Trails in Petit-Canal, carved into stone in 1830, bear witness to the island’s painful past. Fort Fleur d'Épée in Gosier, built in the 18th century, offers views over the bay and preserves its old artillery pieces. The Historic Coffee Plantation in Vieux-Habitants showcases the stages of colonial coffee production with its historic water mill. On the natural side, Petite Terre Nature Reserve near La Désirade protects two islands where sea turtles and dozens of fish species live among coral reefs. These sites encourage discovering a different side of Guadeloupe, away from the typical routes.
