It was a great hike, but I don't recommend going if there was even a little rain the day before. From what I heard it is already a muddy hike(with no prior rain) and with rain days before it makes it a tricky hike, there was a section we had to slide down on our bums and not much to grip on to hence us sliding down. We took another route back as we didn't want to climb back up that same spot with nothing to hold on to, to get back up.

This is an easy one! If you have just a little bit of hiking experience (scandinavia, european alps)this is just a morning stroll!.

The way ist Always covered by trees about 3m high and there are no alternate routes that one could Go Missing or taki g wrong turns
Yes there are a couple of ropes at the end, maybe Last 200m? but they Just make it easier to get Up there, at Morne Brabant you need to climb sections like this without Help.
Just use regular hiking Boots so you won't have your Sneakers ruined by mud stains (which will Go all the way...
