Departure/Arrival Distance Duration Season Difficulty Les bains jaunes (Yellow Baths) 6km 4h30 - 5h All year round Difficult La Soufrière is an active volcano in Basse-Terre (Guadeloupe) that rises to 1,467 meters. The hike begins at the les bains jaunes (Yellow Baths), in the town of Saint-Claude. The parking lot is quite small. If there are no spaces left, you have to park further down, about 2 km away, which lengthens the already long hike. We arrived a little before 8:00
