Having booked your flight to New Caledonia, you will find here a land that is far from the stereotypes of coconut groves and fine sand beaches. The Parc de la Rivière Bleue, located in the centre of New Caledonia's Great South, is a land of red soils, whose colour contrasts with the blues of the rivers and the greens of the vegetation. Spread out over more than 20,000 hectares, the park will greet you with a procession of endemic plant and animal species.
Although the park takes its name from the Blue River, which flows through the middle of it, there are actually three rivers here, of which two feed the artificial Lake Yaté, where it is possible to paddle about in a kayak or canoe. A good spot for camping and an excellent site for hiking, the park is also a paradise for moutain biking and pedestrain tracks. Do not forget to take the entry card, at the entrance of the park.
