Deep in the forest, the Molokoi Trail crosses 18 linear kilometres of French Guianese equatorial forest. It takes its name from the Molokoi river, which winds through the vegetation. Two starting points are available: from the village of Cacao or from the Coralie track on the RN2.
The trail plunges hikers into the heart of the Amazonian forest, through different types of terrain ranging from swamp to rocky plateau. You can observe tropical birds, insects, and possibly howler monkeys, and discover streams, rock formations, and tropical flora. The creeks along the trail offer spots to swim and cool off.
Length: 18 km — a full day's hike. Difficulty: moderate to difficult, due to steep slopes and sometimes muddy paths; good physical fitness is recommended. At the midpoint — 7 km from Cacao or 11 km from the RN2 — a free, no-reservation bivouac area offers 2 hammock carbets and 1 cooking carbet, for a maximum of 8 people per carbet. Access to the Baboune carbet is currently closed pending restoration. Wear sturdy hiking boots, a hat, and bring plenty of water; carry a tarpaulin in case the carbet is full, and leave no trace.
