Activity Snapshot
Activity description
The majority of Martinique's canyons, including the Mitan River, are found in the northern part of the island, within the Pitons du Carbet mountain range. This is the only mountainous region on the island, with a tropical rainforest worthy of the Caribbean. Whether or not you've ever set foot in a tropical jungle, you absolutely must come and discover Martinique's!
Discover this lush forest by descending the canyons that cross it, passing from waterfall to waterfall while having fun. You will discover an activity that provides good thrills while refreshing you!
Abseiling on a rope, jumping or descending on natural slides, you will learn the different techniques of canyon crossing in the Mitan river, in the commune of Le Morne-Vert. The fact that you are supervised by a certified guide who knows the terrain very well will allow you to make your descent serenely, forcing you to worry about only one thing: your pleasure!
So take the plunge and descend the Mitan River canyon in Martinique with the Bureau de la Randonnée!
The Mitan River is THE canyon to do in Martinique!
You will discover the commune of Morne-Vert, where beginners and experts in canyoning will find plenty of fun.
This canyon has 8 main obstacles: 4 of them can be bypassed by climbing, with the help of ropes, while for the other 4, you will have to jump or slide. This canyon offers many possibilities of descents in a beautiful and wild environment within the tropical jungle. By the way, remember to look around you when you reach the canyon: as you cross the Martinique forest, you may well spot the endemic tarantula of northern Martinique, the matoutou cliff!
This canyon in Morne-Vert is one of the school's favourites, and the neighbouring commune is well worth a visit!
