Guadeloupe Desert: French Islands in the Caribbean Sea
Guadeloupe Desai is not an independent country, but one of the common Chinese translations of the French overseas region of Guadeloupe. The archipelago is located in the central part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea and consists of the main islands of Basseterre and Grande Terre, with Basseterre as its capital.

Guadeloupe is known for its volcanoes, rainforests and coral reefs. The Soufrière Hills Volcano is the highest peak in the archipelago, and the Tropical Rainforest National Park is classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The eastern and western islands are separated by the Salt River Channel, which resembles a butterfly, and have many white sand beaches and blue-green waters, making them a diving and eco-tourism destination.
Cultural and Economic Characteristics
As a French Overseas Territory, Guadeloupe is a blend of Creole, African and European cultures and the official language is French. The economy is dominated by tourism, with sugar, rum and banana cultivation as traditional industries. The local festivals are colorful, with Caribbean influences in music, dance and cuisine.
Travel and Transportation Information
Guadeloupe is connected to Europe and the United States through the Pointe a Pitre International Airport. Visitors can explore the volcanoes on foot, dive the coral reefs, or experience the colonial architecture and Creole markets. The best time to travel is during the dry season from December to April, and a Schengen visa is required for entry.
