Impressive Viewpoint Over the Quiet Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small valley without noise (rare in the area) but I did not go to the lagoon because it was dry. Take the paths on the sides rather than walking on the pebbles. The climb to the viewpoint is worth it (starting with cement steps next to the abandoned toilets), then dirt steps then no more steps at all. Progression in a chaos of rocks where you can help yourself with your hands. No loose stones. 100 m after the viewpoint sign at 50 m, you arrive by rocks and ladders at a solid platform made of planks. There is an even more dizzying balustrade but the ramps seem to be in poor condition. The view is already impressive! It's worth it
