The island of Guadeloupe was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and is part of the Caribbean. The other islands belonging to the archipelago of Guadeloupe include Les Saintes, La Désirade, Petite Terre, Marie Galante. Saint Martin and Saint Barth. Apart from the hotel beaches there are about 50 other beaches beaches that can be found at the end of dirt roads, some of them only reachable by foot. Each little bay has its own character and spirit, glorious white sand on Grande-Terre, golden brown sand on the leeward coast and black sand from the vulcano on the westend of Basse-Terre. Unlike many other tropical countries, the variety of the animal life in Guadeloupe is limited. But because of this there are no poisonous and dangerous animals (mosquitos and scolopendra are the worst that you will put up with).
