Béjaro

Béjaro is a mountain summit on New Caledonia's main island reaching 105 meters above sea level. The location offers views across the surrounding Pacific landscape and serves as a hiking destination.

The mountain has long shaped the geography of New Caledonia, which became a French territory in 1853 under Admiral Febvrier Despointes. This elevation became a reference point during the islands' transformation.

The summit holds meaning for the Kanak people, who have long used this location as a gathering place and landmark. Local communities continue to recognize its role in their connection to the land.

Visitors reach the summit by local hiking trails, with the best conditions during the dry season from September to December. Proper footwear and plenty of water are important, as the paths can be demanding.

This summit serves as an observation point for changes in the Pacific ecosystem and is used by researchers to monitor environmental shifts. Its elevated position makes it a valuable location for collecting scientific data.
