Imported "Caraïbe" pine tree.

At 20 km away from Noumea and 500 metre of elevation, the sight that extend
around you from the restaurant area is fantastic and the path which climb up to the mountain makes you discover the
unique tropical rain forest.
For emotional experience, amateurs will find there isolated cabins built up high in the trees..
A restaurant, simple but cozy, offer a good opportunity to prolong the stop.
Not to be
missed

The vegetation, pushed up both by temperature and damp struggle for life and grows on everything that can support it, alive or dead.
The lianas and others parasites seems fight without
mercy.

TARZAN !!
Shake up one
of these lianas and you will be surprised by its suppleness
and much more by its inertia : despite your efforts, it will
stand aside during a few seconds before getting back to its
initial position. It is the time the movement is transmitted
up and down.
