Saut de la Lézarde, Waterfall in Petit Bourg, Guadeloupe.
Description
The Saut de la Lézarde is a waterfall on the La Lézarde River in Petit Bourg that drops approximately 10 m with a width of around 15 m. The cascade forms a deep basin at its base where water collects after the fall.
History
This waterfall is part of the La Lézarde River system that has shaped the geography of Petit Bourg over many centuries. The flowing water carved this cascade into the landscape through its persistent movement.
Culture
The basin below serves as a gathering spot where local swimmers enjoy the water throughout the year. This natural pool has become a social meeting place that connects the community to their local landscape.
Practical
The trail down to the falls takes about 30 minutes and begins from an old restaurant area, passing through banana groves on a clear path. Good hiking shoes help on the potentially slippery sections, especially when wet.
Did you know?
The basin below allows for diving in deeper sections when conditions are right and water levels are safe. Many visitors are surprised by how much colder the water is compared to the tropical rivers they expect.
