An iconic feature of the landscape of Martinique, which it destroyed several times, Mount Pelée, a youthful 400,000-year-old volcano, is still in activity and hot springs and the occasional lava torrent still pour forth. The Morne-Rouge Maison des Volcans relates its history, while the chance to walk along its flanks should not be missed, enabling you to venture close to the caldera and cones. Canyoning excursions in the vicinity go past stunningly beautiful landscapes.
