Short, easy walk to a beautiful waterfall. Just passed Maison de la Foret. Well worth the stop if you are in the area.

Maison de la Foret

Reviewed By sdaviesbennion

We drove to Maison de la Fôret to do the walk along Trace des Ruisseaux (path of the roots). Parking is free and there is really lovely picnic area away from the road by the river. There are various little huts with tables, so there’s plenty of shade when it’s super hot. The walking route was listed as easy (facile), which it is in terms of duration and inclines, etc. However, as the name suggests, there are a lot of tree roots, so you have to be very careful where you put your feet and it can get very muddy where water collects around the roots. Be prepared to have to clean your trainers at the end! However, would highly recommend doing it as it is so wonderful to be in the rainforest, which is just teeming with life and beauty. The sounds are incredible, as are all the trees, vines, flowers and other plants. It feels like being in another world. Absolutely wonderful!
