Situated along Martinique's gorgeous northwest coast is one of the world's most famous volcanoes. When Mount Pelée erupted in 1902, it devasted the capital city of Saint-Pierre. Today its mountainous terrain of lush forests and vast grasslands offers an enchanting hiking experience for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. As you ascend the slopes of this dozing giant, stepping higher and higher into luxuriant fern forests, keep your eye out for possible sightings of beautiful blue-headed hummingbirds, which are endemic to the island. Your trekking efforts will be rewarded with stunning views of the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts, as well as the Carbet Mountains, and when the weather is truly fine, the neighboring island of Dominica.
Enjoy awe-inspiring scenery on a guided hike to the island's highest peak, Le Chinois, boasting a summit of 4,583 feet.
