Guadeloupe is a French overseas 'departement'. The colony comprises a group of nine islands in the eastern Caribbean, of which Grand-Terre and Basse-Terre are the two most important. Grand-Terre is renowned for its cosmopolitan flair and has a flourishing economy. Basse-Terre on the other hand, in complete contrast, is a paradise for relaxation with an impressive untouched mountainous landscape. At the heart of the island is the volcano, "Soufrière", which is surrounded by a wonderful tropical rainforest.
The island group of Guadeloupe is a paradise for the physically active. Biking, golf, tennis, canoeing and diving are just some of the sports visitors can enjoy on the "butterfly of the Caribbean", as it is also known. Guadaloupe has a very special attraction for divers: the underwater "Jaques Cousteau" nature reserve is a mecca for hobby divers and visitors are guaranteed to be impressed by its breathtaking marine vegetation.

This Caribbean island lies South of St. Vincent and North of Trinidad and Tobago. Cloves, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon are all produced on Grenada, which explains its nick-name "spice island". The 94,000 inhabitants of the island are surrounded by tropical rainforests, gorges and dormant volcanoes. The capital of Grenada is St. George's and is just 5 km from the island's long, white beach, "Grand Anse". But the real attraction on Grenada is the island itself. It is the perfect place for walks and treks through the tropical countryside. The turquoise water of the Caribbean is also perfect for sailing trips and diving excursions.
