The most beautiful natural sites to discover Pointe Noire - Kouilou

One of the particularities of the park is to be one of the largest nesting centres in the world of leatherback and olivâtres turtles. The WCS organizes night trips from 19 h during the nesting period from November to February. Cost: 20 000 FCFA.

A very beautiful canoe exit to the mouth of the lagoon, where it mingle with the ocean, is proposed. Sandy beach and coastal forest after a navigation of about 40 minutes through the lagoon of Conkouati dotted with islands and islets, the banks bordered by mangrove trees. It's memorable and costs CFAF 5 000, which is not too expensive. 

Classified as a biosphere reserve by Unesco in 1988, the Mayombe forest is a veritable green lung for the planet, with its varied and remarkable species of wood. However, it is seriously threatened by the illegal deforestation that goes on there without anyone saying a word, and to a considerable extent by the activities of gold miners. Auberge Vigoureux organizes walks through the reserve, to a lovely waterfall, for example. A breath of fresh air.
