Mont Farataupoo

Mont Farataupoo rises 421 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes covered with dense tropical vegetation native to the South Pacific region.

Early Polynesian navigators used the mountain's distinct profile as a reference point during their sea voyages across the vast Pacific Ocean.

The mountain holds traditional significance for local communities who incorporate its presence into their oral histories and traditional navigation methods.

Visitors need to arrange transportation to the mountain base and carry sufficient water supplies, as the tropical climate requires proper hydration during hikes.

The summit location at coordinates -17.5 latitude and -149.8 longitude provides views of both the island's interior valleys and the surrounding Pacific Ocean.
