Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport (PTP), also known as Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet Airport, is located in Les Abymes, about 1.8 miles north of Pointe-à-Pitre. Inaugurated in 1953 and answering the need to put an end to the isolation of Guadeloupe, the airport was expanded and reconstructed several times over the years. In 1996, the new air terminal was completed and Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes was born. Car hire is the best option to travel from the airport to the city centre and beyond.
Once you are settled in Les Abymes, you can explore the city and what it has to offer. Start with a spiritual visit, including the chapel of Notre Dame-de-la-Guadeloupe, a place of pilgrimage built on top of Morne Calvaire. Discover beautiful historical monuments with the Mamiel and Petrelluzzi houses, for a lovely journey back in time. Finally, escape on a road trip and drive your car rental to the seafront, with the Grand Cul de Sac Marin natural reserve and its mangrove swamps with lush vegetation, before driving back inland to admire the hills of Grands Fonds.
