On our second day of exploring the national park, we took the Route de la traverse, the road that crosses the forest latitudinally.

During this crossing we stopped at the comfortable (5-minute walk) and scenic "Cascade Aux Ecrevisses", always surrounded by dense forest.

The second stop of the day would have been the Habitacion la Grivelière, an old coffee plantation converted into an open-air museum, but we found it closed.

Obviously, due to Murphy's law, we were unable to visit even the famous Bologne distillery, since visits were fully booked on that date (also due to the covid restrictions in place).

We tried to turn the day around by visiting Fort Delgres, but we didn't think it would be interesting to stop further.

After these somewhat unsatisfactory stages we completed the southern tour of the island, encountering black sand beaches and endless crops of bananas and tropical fruits (here too bad luck would have it that the undersigned was stung for the first time in his life and involuntarily by a bee, fortunately without consequences).

Before returning to the "home" beaches, we decided to reach the "Chute du Carbet" waterfalls, much more accessible than the previous day's trek.

In this excursion, where you walk comfortably on a paved path and various wooden walkways, you can admire the remarkable jumps made by the water surrounded by the tropical forest. The second jump, the most impressive, can be reached after an hour's walk from the parking lot.

To reach the first jump we would have had to continue on a path that was no longer marked and forbidden due to the risk of landslides, so we decided to give up.
