Martinique has grown over the years to be an adventurer’s dream. With the annual Randonnée Hiking Festival, the goal is to encourage eco-travelers and fitness enthusiast to visit the island. The lush, mountainous island makes it ideal for anyone seeking a vacation outside the norm.
Hikers, whether residents or visitors learn about the importance of eco-responsiblity; that is picking up waste after hiking, use of disposable crockery of natural sugar cane pulp, wood, or bamboo.

Some of the featured activities includes hikes through the forests, rivers, volcano, creole gardens, springs, dreary farms, and exploring some of its villages such as the quint coastal town of Le Carbet.
As Martinique forges on making its stamp on the eco-fitness community, travelers are able to learn about the historical and cultural heritage of the island with hikes to Gros-Mornaise countryside, urban hikes, and exploring the unknown remains of the martyred city of Saint-Pierre.
Whichever the event chosen, there are many instances to enjoy incredible views and fall in love even more with Martinique.
