Details

Access

Access to the site is via the Kaw road, the road is not very passable (more like a track), you have to stop just before the sawmill (shortly after the Caiman camp). The trail is approximately 1 hour of walking round trip. Be careful in wet periods, bare rocks can be slippery. The best time to go there is from November to the end of January: when the birds are courting.

Français: L'accès au site se fait par la route de Kaw, la route est peu praticable ( ressemble plus a une piste), il faut s'arrêter juste avant la scierie (peu après le camp caiman). Le sentier fait environ 1h de marche allez-retour. Attention en période humide les roches nues peuvent glisser. La Meilleure période pour s'y rendre et de novembre à fin janvier : période de parade des oiseaux.
