Yemaya Adventures – Macchabee Forest
This mountain bike trail is ideal to spend a nice time in the open air.

The ride will then bring you to the refreshing forest of the Bras d’Eau National Park. During your bike trail, if you are lucky, you will see a rare endemic bird, the Paradise Fly Catcher. You will also discover the ruins of an old sugar mill factory.
