Isle of Flowers Les Ombrages Martinique (0 viewing)
Urbanization has spread through much of the island, and most of Martinique's large towns feel like modern suburbs. Nevertheless, nearly a third of Martinique is forested and other areas are given over to pineapples, bananas and sugarcane fields. There are also plenty of hiking trails into the mountains.

Les Ombrages is a botanical garden situated at the site of what was once a rum distillery. Stopping here a short while makes for a refreshing break. A trail passes by stands of bamboo, tall trees with buttressed roots, torch gingers and the ruins of an old mill. It's a lush jungle walk.
