HEART OF VOH
Count 2h30 of walk for the ascent of the mount Kathépaïk, from where we can see the Heart by good weather. (It is the sunshine that brings out the heart). Once at the top, find your bearings in relation to the two rivers, with the point of the Heart pointing towards you. At the risk of being disappointed, do not imagine that you will be able to find what you see on Yann Arthus-Bertrand's postcards; unless you fly over the site, it is quite difficult to distinguish. Nevertheless, if the sun is shining, the panorama is grandiose and stretches between red laterite earth, mountains, mangrove and ocean. To the north, the Téméla tribe; in front of you, the Duroc pass, to the east, the Koniambo massif and, to the south, the Oundjo tribe. Not to mention the recently built huge factory in the North.
But you have a good view on the heart, without necessarily reaching the top. Count in that case, about one hour of walk. Be careful, it goes up!

Parking: the starting point of the hike is at the level of a housing estate, a little outside the center. Arriving at the level of the store "the Katepai", take the road that runs alongside the store, then at the crossroads, take the left. Park in the available spaces or along a sidewalk.

Members' reviews on HEART OF VOH
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Not having a 4x4 but a simple utility light van, we prefer to walk, but in fact, you would have made a good part of the drive...
On the way, you will pass tourists who say not to have seen the heart and continue!
At the end of 60mn distance (one is walkers), you can see nothing...
Finally, in the middle of a break, you can see, but it is much smaller than one designed.
In fact, if there are clouds, it is almost impossible to see it.
