La Granfondo Guadeloupe is a new event on the UCI calendar, ideal for riders who would like to combine their trip with a vacation on this tropical island in the middle of the winter in the northern hemisphere.
Guadeloupe in December offers a perfect escape to the Caribbean, with the dry season bringing ideal weather for exploring.
This French archipelago boasts diverse landscapes: Grande-Terre features stunning white-sand beaches perfect for relaxing and watersports, while Basse-Terre is a nature lover’s paradise with lush rainforests, the La Soufrière volcano, and spectacular waterfalls like Carbet Falls. Don’t miss diving in the Cousteau Marine Reserve.
Island hopping to Les Saintes, Petite Terre, or Marie-Galante provides more beautiful scenery and marine adventures. December also brings a vibrant festive spirit, with traditional Chanté Nwèl carols and delicious local Christmas cuisine. Warm temperatures (around 26-27°C) and inviting sea make it a prime winter destination.
