PARC PROVINCIAL
des Grandes Fougères

Beautiful nature park. Easy paths. Wheel chair accessible

Kagu, where are you ? Here is how I found him 🇳🇨 Location & How to get to the Park – The Park is located near Farino and accessible via car 🚙 it is mostly up a steep road and you should drive slowly and carefully at all times. Not recommended during heavy rainfall. Entrance – Entrance fee for one Person is 400xpf / the Parking is free. Friendly staff will explain everything you have to know. Snacks and Drinks – They have a small selection of drinks but it’s best to come prepared with food for the day. There is no food as of writing. Trail – There are several well maintained, marked and save trails that will navigate you through the park. Trail difficulty is T1 to T2. The climate is cooler and refreshing – mostly in the forest protected from the sun. Facilities – Toilets, Picnic areas, refreshments, souvenir shop, ticket counter and parking area What to bring – Proper hiking shoes, water, food, Sun protection and anything else you need. Kagu, where are you ? – The Kagu can be spotted in the park and it is a magical encounter once you find him. Here is how I spotted him: 1) Be there when the park opens! 2) Be very quiet at all times 3) Go slowly, silently 4) Try to hear the rattling of leaves 🍂 5) Search for movement My Kagu was in a moist area with lots of bushes and dead leaves on the ground. He was standing still and made no sound – I was lucky 🍀 to see him standing near the trail! Ps: This is a protected area with park rules. Please leave no tracks and take only memories. My personal message to groups and couples -> please be quiet – this is a place for the Kagu and he doesn’t talk a lot🤫 respect bird watchers. Good Luck and enjoy this magnificent Park 🤞🐦 ❤️

Magnifique parc avec une multitude d’espèces de fougères mais pas que ! On y trouve des arbres typiques de la NC et aussi des oiseaux comme les cagous s’ils sont présents

Très beau site. Les sentiers sont assez ardus. Manque quand même un endroit pour acheter des sandwichs sur place.
