Description

Tahitian Odyssey invites you to climb Mapura, culminating at 1,191 meters, this summit offers a unique view of the Tuauru Valley and the peaks of Pihaiateta, Pito Hiti and Orohena. The path is very wild, humid, with many rope passages. Very little known, you are more likely to come across wild pigs or wild goats (if you are very discreet).
