마쿠바‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 천연기념물

A very difficult hike; it's astonishing how many people are wearing inadequate footwear. Steep ascents and descents with high steps, often slippery due to the frequent cloud cover. The final section from the third refuge to the summit of "Le Chinois" is only recommended for experienced hikers, as it consists almost entirely of boulders. It's also advisable to wear long trousers, as you'll frequently be scraping along bushes. The detour of about 150 meters to the summit cross to the left of the arrival point on the crater rim is a good path, but unfortunately very overgrown. Nevertheless, it's an absolutely worthwhile detour because the cross offers a fantastic view south across the entire island, and you can also look down into the crater.

Difficult hike, unmaintained trails, broken steps, lots of climbing and crevasses on the way up. Very cloudy at the summit despite arriving around 7 a.m. But very beautiful view of the Caldera Pass.

if you're lucky

This trail, which winds through lush tropical vegetation, leads hikers to breathtaking viewpoints of the island and the Atlantic Ocean. As you climb, the landscapes reveal themselves with cliffs, green valleys, and at the top, a breathtaking view of the caldera and the surrounding area.

Along the Sentier de la Montagne Pelée, you will hike one of the most iconic volcanoes in the Caribbean. During your climb, you will pass through lush rainforests and rugged volcanic landscapes, with breathtaking views of the island of Martinique, but also of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.

Be careful, the path to the summit is very vertical with ropes to climb up the mud steps. The altitude often hangs with clouds, I advise going there in the morning if you hope to see some scenery! For the bivouac, there is space large enough for 1 trekking tent on the trail.

Described as a normal hike..be careful...it's really hard and incredibly long.

Easy route to the top of Le Chinois. Rocks can be very slippery and have large gaps between them. Smooth-soled trainers used by many are not suitable. Boots or at least climbing trainers with stiff sole and good grip. Use hands even when you think you have good grip, if possible. I have been to Le Chinois 5 times over 9 years and have never seen the view yet, I have only seen Le Chinois from the beach so be prepared to see only mist 😋
