Martinique (Madinina or
Flowers Island) is a tropical island in the West Indies between Saint
Lucia and Dominica.
Third island of the Lesser Antilles in surface after the Guadeloupe,
Martinique has a extraordinary various range of landscapes. Roughly
65km long and 20km wide, Martinique has a terrain punctuated by hills,
plateaus and mountains.
Martinique counts several hundreds of species of plants and flowers:
Anthuriums, torch ginger, bromeliads, balisiers ... One can see also
on the island tree ferns as well as hardwood trees like mahogany,
rosewood, locust and gommier.
The diversity of the natural landscapes of Martinique, its mountains
and sandy coasts allow many excursions in the paths and intinerariesires
marked out by the ONF. The island has an ideal climate for the excursion
which can be practised during all the year, with prudence during the
rain season between July and November.
The territory of the Regional Natural Reserve of Martinique (Parc
Naturel Régional de la Martinique) covers three zones: the
North-Caribbean zone, The Peninsula of La Caravelle and the South.
