Damango

Damango is a mountain summit in New Caledonia that rises to 371 meters above sea level. The peak stands in a region shaped by tropical vegetation and coastal views.

The area around Damango is located on an island that France established as a penal colony in the 19th century. The region later developed into a French overseas territory with its own administration.

The mountain area represents the intersection of French administrative presence and indigenous Kanak traditions that shape New Caledonia's identity.

Reaching the summit requires hiking through hilly and sometimes dense terrain. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, plenty of water, and weather protection, as conditions can change quickly in this region.

The summit connects to Aréha peak through a natural corridor, with a prominence of 1 meter and Key Col positioned at 26 meters elevation.
