Originally the name of a tree, Takamaka is an exceptional site, a tropical paradise, with steep mountains and waterfalls, Jurassic Park style. It holds records with more than 6 m of rain per year. A viewpoint is accessible at the end of the beautiful D53. To do so, follow Bourbier, the first exit of the four-lane road leaving Saint-Benoît from the north. The dam, built in 1969, supplied the island with 100% renewable energy. Today, it is only 30%. Go very early and only in good weather. There are opportunities for sports hikes.

Magnifique point de vue sur la célèbre vallée de Takamaka (le site le plus arrosé de l'ile). la route est un peu longue mais vaut largement le détours ! Prévoir 2 bonnes heures et du beau temps. C'est le départ d'une superbe rando dans les remparts qui vous permet de gagner le plateau de Bébours/Bélouve en passant par 26 échelles suspendues (marcheurs confirmés !!!).

Je recommande ce circuit de l'est de l'île en conseillant de veiller à se préparer à la météo capricieuse de ce coin de l'île (prévoir protection pluie)
