Crique Tibourou : Un Jacuzzi Naturel Caché

Overview

Tibourou is located in the municipality of Roura, French Guiana, 74 km from Cayenne on the Régina road. Over the years, erosion has shaped the rock into a vast natural bathing pool in the middle of a forest of century-old trees. The site offers a rocky basin where you can relax deep in the forest.

Why Visit

The site captivates with its natural pool and forest setting:

• a natural bathing pool carved into the rock by erosion;
• a dense forest environment of century-old trees;
• a short and accessible approach walk.

Practical Information

• Walking: approximately 30 minutes through the forest; the path is unmarked but presents no particular difficulty.
• Equipment: boots recommended in the rainy season.
• Parking: there is a parking area after a short 5-minute drive on the dirt track; park by the roadside if the track is impassable.
• Respect: take your waste with you and stick to the established path to avoid getting lost.

Getting There

Head to PK74 on the eastern road towards Régina. A sign indicates a discreet dirt track on your right. After a short 5-minute drive, there is a parking area. Leave the private shelter on your left and take the path heading right; it leads to the destination after approximately 30 minutes of walking. If the track is impassable, park by the roadside and continue on foot.
