The Jardin de Balata, a tropical jewel
3 min read
Nestled on the heights of the Route de la Trace, the Jardin de Balata brings together thousands of tropical species around a traditional Creole house. A concentrate of West Indian flora less than twenty minutes from the capital.
A garden of passion
Created by horticulturist Jean-Philippe Thoze, the garden showcases palms, heliconias, bromeliads and exotic flowers in lush vegetation frequented by hummingbirds.
Suspension bridges and panoramas
Suspended walkways let you stroll through the treetops, offering a unique view over the canopy and, on a clear day, over the surrounding peaks.
