Guadeloupe

The terrain of Guadeloupe ranges from volcanic, rainforest-covered slopes on Basse-Terre to drier limestone plains on Grande-Terre, giving the archipelago strongly contrasting island landscapes. La Soufrière, an active volcano within Guadeloupe National Park, dominates Basse-Terre, where humid forests and rivers descend towards the Caribbean Sea. Grande-Terre has a lower, more open character, with coastal settlements facing the Atlantic and the sheltered waters of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. French and Creole influences shape everyday life; Guadeloupe has been an overseas department of France since 1946.
