Mé Ouébo

Mé Ouébo is a peak in North Province that rises to 414 meters above sea level. From the summit, views extend across a landscape of dry forest with low vegetation and open horizons across the surrounding terrain.

This peak was shaped by the same tectonic forces that lifted the New Caledonian archipelago from the seafloor millions of years ago. Its formation reflects the geological history of the region.

For local Kanak communities, this peak represents a connection to their land and clan identity that structures daily life and social relationships. The mountain holds meaning within their territorial understanding of the region.

The peak is accessible via established trails starting from Route de Saint-Raphaël. The dry season offers the best hiking conditions with stable weather and clear views.

The summit displays rock formations that reveal New Caledonia's unusual origin, with ancient seafloor material pushed upward by geological forces. These visible layers tell a story of earth processes that are rarely exposed elsewhere.
