Bouérou

Bouérou is a mountain peak standing at 331 meters on Grande Terre island in New Caledonia. The summit sits within the central mountain range that crosses through the tropical landscape of the territory.

The summit is located within territory France annexed in 1853 during its Pacific expansion efforts. The central mountain range has long served as a natural geographic boundary in the region.

The summit forms part of the central mountain chain that divides traditional Kanak territories and influences local weather patterns throughout the region.

The peak is most accessible during the dry season from June to August when weather conditions are favorable. Marked trails lead to the summit, and visitors should prepare for tropical conditions.

The peak's location within the central range creates distinct microclimates on each side of the mountain. This affects rainfall patterns and vegetation types across the surrounding landscape.
