Farino walks

A trail through the rainforest of the Grandes Fougères Provincial Park (PPGF), which follows part of the Pic Monnier Trail before joining the Cascade Trail to explore numerous points of interest: Pic Monnier, Cœur de Farino, the bread oven, the arboretum, etc.This route is entirely shaded by tall trees, which is very pleasant in hot weather. Many sections are very muddy and others slippery depending on the weather; check at the park entrance.Please note: there are several river crossings where you will need to get your feet wet (5 to 6 depending on the water level), so please wear suitable footwear.Note: the official trail markings for the park’s various paths can be found on the official website.

This route starts at the foot of the iconic Bonhomme de Bourail statue, then follows two trails marked by the South Province Tourist Office: the Sentier des Trois Baies and the Sentier Botanique de la Forêt des Cycas. These two short trails are very accessible for families and well signposted. The trail runs alongside Plage de la Roche Percée, known as one of the largest sea turtle nesting sites in New Caledonia.
