Getting There
-
Hiking
From the center of Canaries, head towards the coast and follow the path leading southwest towards the water. Look for signs or locals to direct you to the trailhead for the Petit Piton hike. The starting point is near the base of the mountain. The hike will take you approximately 2 to 2.5 hours to reach the summit, so be prepared with water and proper hiking gear. Follow the marked trail, and check for ropes in some areas for assistance.
-
Guided Tour
Consider booking a guided tour from Canaries, as local guides are knowledgeable about the area and can provide transportation to the base of Petit Piton. Many tours include transportation from your accommodation in Canaries, and they will take care of all the logistics. This option is ideal for tourists who prefer a structured experience.
-
Walking
If you're feeling adventurous and want to explore the local area on foot, you can walk towards the coast and follow the shoreline south from Canaries. This route will eventually lead you closer to the Petit Piton area. Be mindful of the terrain and allow plenty of time for the journey, as walking may take longer than hiking directly to the trailhead.
