You will walk along the park boundary and meander along a forest path from the viewpoint of marker #8. A viewpoint at marker #13 will take your breath away before you return to the wide trail (also accessible to ATVs) that leads you to the famous heart of Farino and the Houé Camp rest area (marker #20). You will reach the kaori area (landmark n°21), from where you will enjoy an easy walk back to the reception and will pass, after a short climb, in front of the "bread oven", a vestige of the colonial era and a witness of human presence in this remote area.
