Located on Route de la Trace, the Alma River is a delight for visitors seeking total harmony with nature.

Its lush tropical forest setting and abundant vegetation provide a haven of peace for anyone wishing to commune with Mother Nature in complete tranquility. Its cool water is a refreshing alternative to the warmer waters of the beaches.

Canyoneers can visit it by climbing Piton Boucher and then descending the 40-meter waterfall, while hikers can jump into the pools from a height of about 3 or 4 meters.

Picnicking is also possible.

To get there by car via Fort-de-France, take the N3 towards the Médaille district and park at the Plateau Boucher car park.
