Guadeloupe

Picture the French Caribbean and you probably think of St. Martin--or maybe St. Barts or Martinique. Guadeloupe remains a secret to many North American travelers, a hideway that offers French and Creole food as well as plenty of ecotourism fun.

The main island is shaped like a butterfly. The eastern wing is the home of the airport and many resorts; the western wing is home to La Soufriere volcano, many waterfalls, and plenty of outdoor fun.

Two smaller islands -- Les Saintes and the larger Marie-Galante -- lie offshore and offer good day trips.
