Guadeloupe is a tropical twin island in the Caribbean; the two islands are separated by a narrow strait and connected by a bridge. Basse-Terre is of volcanic origin, here is at 1467 m altitude, the highest mountain (La Soufrière) of the Lesser Antilles. With about 200 recorded bird species, the bird life is quite diverse for such small islands. Some of them are very typical Caribbean species. The national bird - the Guadeloupe Woodpecker - is a magnificent bird and not even hard to find. The best travel time is April / May at the end of the dry season.
Guadeloupe is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Legally Guadeloupe belongs to France. Because of the number of bird species with restricted range occurring in this area, BirdLife International assigned it a Primary Endemic Bird Area (EBA-P).
