Continental Guadeloupe comprises two islands separated by a sea arm - "La Rivière Salée".
Grande-Terre in the East is mostly flat and the climate here is dry. Sugar cane plantations farm its limestone soil. The highest hills are in the Grands-Fonds to the South of the island; there is also the most luxuriant vegetation.
Basse-Terre is a mountainous volcanic island. The highest peak is "La Soufrière" (an active volcano). The clouds, stopped by the mountains, provide the island with abundant rain all the year. The eastern Atlantic coast is more flat. You will find big banana plantations there.
But Guadeloupe is wonderful with the beaches on turquoise blue, soothing warm water and palm trees bending in soft trade winds.
