Sarraméa brings together a range of natural and cultural attractions: Parc provincial des Grandes Fougères, the Cuve de Sarraméa and the guided activities offered by Sarraméa Randonnées. When choosing a destination, it helps to consider whether you are mainly looking for protected rainforest, a water spot with a historical connection, or a guided activity in forest landscapes. These themes give your stay different focuses and help you get a sense of Sarraméa as a destination.

Rainforest at the meeting point of three municipalities

Parc provincial des Grandes Fougères lies at the meeting point of Farino, Moindou and Sarraméa. It protects more than 4,500 hectares of species-rich tropical rainforest. This places the park in a specific regional setting, while also defining it through its vast protected forest landscape. Its natural environment differs from the excursions offered by Sarraméa Randonnées: the park focuses on tropical rainforest, while the excursions take in both dry and humid forest landscapes. If nature is your main reason for visiting, you can choose between the park’s protected rainforest landscape and tours through both types of forest.

The Cuve and its historic name

The Cuve de Sarraméa is also known as “Trou Feillet.” Both names refer to the same water spot, so Trou Feillet is not a separate stop beside the Cuve. During the colonial period, Governor Feillet enjoyed bathing there. This gives the water spot a historical association. The alternative name makes it easy to identify: Trou Feillet refers to the same Cuve.

Quad excursions and trails with panoramic views

Sarraméa Randonnées offers excursions on two-seater quads through landscapes with dry and humid forests. The operator also leads visitors along trails through both types of forest to hilltops with sweeping panoramic views. Both formats include dry and humid forest landscapes; they differ in the type of excursion and the stated destination. In practical terms, you can choose between a quad excursion through the forest landscape and a guided trail to a hilltop with expansive views. Before your trip, it is advisable to check the operator’s current booking information for quad excursions.

Where Sarraméa Randonnées is located

At the end of the village of Sarraméa, the operator is based on a working farm near a river, beneath large trees at the foot of the central mountain range. The village edge, proximity to the river and the foot of the central mountain range provide specific reference points for the operator’s location. The trees add a distinctive feature of the surroundings to the description of the farm. The park is located by reference to the meeting point of Farino, Moindou and Sarraméa, while the operator is located by reference to the edge of the village of Sarraméa. These are two different reference points to help you orient yourself.
