Le Souffleur, bato sa Guadeloupe, lat 16,32, long -61,29

Le Souffleur is a limestone rock formation on Guadeloupe's coast with several natural cavities that shoot saltwater jets into the air when waves hit. The formation features rugged cliffs composed of light-colored limestone with distinctive openings carved by ocean erosion.

Le Souffleur is a rock in the sea about 60 km east of Basse-Terre and 6.3 km east of Le Moule, rising 2 metres above the water. The surrounding land is flat, with the sea close by and islets in the area. The rock's opening, with a reddish-brown band above dark water, is the result of the sea working at the stone.

The name comes from the jets of water forced through the rock cavities, which sound like a powerful breath. The site lies off the eastern coast of Guadeloupe, about 60 km from Basse-Terre and 6.3 km east of Le Moule, where the surrounding land is given over to farming.

Access is via a hiking trail starting from the Porte d'Enfer car park that follows the coastline. The path is flat and mostly unshaded, so bring water, sun protection, and sturdy shoes for the walk.

When the sea is rough, water jets from the cavities sometimes shoot to impressive heights, resembling natural geysers. Additionally, on clear days, the mist from these water jets can create rainbows, adding an unexpected visual element to the wild coastline.
