Sources Chaudes de Capesterre-Belle-Eau in Guadeloupe offers chloride thermal spring bathing near the Carbet Falls—the highest waterfall in the French Caribbean at 115 meters, a three-tiered cascade plunging through the tropical rainforest of the Basse-Terre volcano in a natural spectacle that Christopher Columbus observed and recorded during his Caribbean voyages of the 1490s, making it one of the oldest continuously documented natural wonders of the Americas. The thermal springs emerge from the same volcanic geological system that powers La Grande Soufrière and the Carbet Falls, their chloride mineral character reflecting the complex interaction between volcanic hydrothermal activity and the ocean-influenced geology of this Caribbean volcanic island. The combination of the historic Carbet Falls, the volcanic thermal spring, and the tropical rainforest hiking opportunities of the Guadeloupe National Park creates an exceptional natural wellness experience in one of the most volcanically active and biodiversity-rich of France's Caribbean territories.
