Description
It’s a “little valley” as its name suggests, a tributary of the PAPENOO. This trail was originally a territorial park founded in 1989, with a well-developed path, a gentle gradient, several fords and plenty of swimming. The aim is to reach a waterfall from which the most daring can jump. This is the famous “jump of death” (between 4 and 8 meters). Other points of interest include “la vasque aux trois siphons”, “la cascade du dernier des Mohicans”, “le parcours du combattant”, “le casse-noisette”… This outing is suitable for all levels, including children aged 7 and over.
