From Cayenne to Deux-Bras, follow the course of the Rivière des Galets, avoiding the path down to the riverbed. Instead, take the path on the right leading to the Bras d’Oussy footbridge. After crossing the bridge, turn right towards Aurère, beginning the ascent to Bord Bazar. The climb begins with a secured section along a cliff face, offering breathtaking views of the Maïdo rampart and Piton Tortue. The Bambou spring signals the imminent end of this adventure, marking a harmonious exploration where humanity and majestic nature come together.

Very difficult
Departure from La Possession (Réunion)
A complete hike in the Cirque de Mafate: you descend to cross the Rivière des Galets, then climb back up the opposite side towards Roche Plate. Magnificent scenery; classified as ‘Very Difficult’ due to the very steep gradient with numerous handrails (especially on the descent). When it rains, it can be dangerous and completely impassable as the river becomes too swollen with a strong current.
