Hiking at La Soufrière:

You don't climb to the top of an active volcano every day, and being able to experience first-hand the power and energy that emanates from the center of the earth is sure to be a highlight of your stay. What's more, it's not really a hike, but a real journey: in addition to the dramatically changing climate, you'll pass through a succession of varied ecosystems, all very well preserved thanks to the work of the National Park. Then you'll reach the summit plateau... where you won't even feel like you're on planet Earth! Yoann will help you make the most of this rare experience, giving you all the explanations you need about the geology, volcanism and vegetation of this exceptional place! If you're lucky, the view from the summit is splendid, but be aware that this rarely happens: it's one of the wettest places on earth! So, yes, it's cold, windy and often foggy, but it would be a mistake not to make the most of this visit.
