Sarraméa is a small inland village of Grande Terre, tucked into a green valley at the foot of the central range, where New Caledonia reveals its mountainous, lush side. Far from the beaches, here forests, streams and trails climbing through ferns and trees take over, ideal for walking and for getting close to nature. The area is known for the "Trou Feuillet", a natural site set deep in greenery, and for the quiet that makes it a restorative stop. The surrounding tribal villages preserve the island's Kanak culture and traditional hospitality. Sarraméa is the choice for those seeking the green, silent New Caledonia of mountains and forests rather than lagoons.
