Martinique's Essential Wonders

Martinique’s landscape is defined by the active Mount Pelée volcano and the historic ruins of Saint-Pierre, including Cyparis's Dungeon and the Asile Bethléem. Architectural highlights range from the seaside Fort Saint-Louis to the iron-framed Fort-de-France Cathedral. The island's heritage is preserved at Habitation Clément, an 1887 rum distillery, and through pre-Columbian rock carvings. Natural sites include the 120-meter Cascade de la rivière Couleuvre and the botanical diversity of Balata Gardens.
