Saut des Trois Cornes

Saut des Trois Cornes is a waterfall near Sainte-Rose that drops through thick tropical forest before flowing into the Moustique River. White gummier trees and twisted vines fill the surrounding landscape along the walking route.

The area was once part of the plantation system during colonial times and supported Guadeloupe's agricultural economy. Today the forest has returned to cover much of the land after that era ended.

Local people have long used this place as a gathering spot and natural refuge within their community. The waterfall and surrounding forest hold meaning in everyday practices and oral traditions passed down through families.

The hiking path is moderate in difficulty and passes through wet conditions, so sturdy shoes and water-resistant clothing are recommended. Start early in the day to ensure you have enough daylight for the return journey.

The water crashes down to create a natural shower effect where it meets the river, and the flowing waters are home to dragonfly species and mullet fish found nowhere else locally. These creatures make the spot particularly special for those paying attention.
