DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACK
D - Departure: enter the forest by a small path facing north-east (the route enters a dry forest, also called sclerophyll, which contains diversified and large species. The most spectacular are the giant cycads with an archaic silhouette scattered in the undergrowth and on the edge of the beach).

1- Information panel (the dry forest): a few dozen meters further on, at the intersection, turn right. The path then meanders through pleasant, open undergrowth on flat, sandy-loamy alluvial soil. Its direction is generally south-east. Reach the second panel.

2 - Information panel (the Cycas forest): head east. Reach the mangrove that borders the Nera estuary.

3 - Information board (the mangrove) (GPS: 548 397– 7 609 954): then follow the wetland towards the north-west, then return to the starting point by taking the well-marked path which winds through the forest (south-west). It joins the outward route to the east of the starting point (Point 1).
