Montagne Penchée, Hill formation in Roura, French Guiana.
Montagne Penchée is a hill that rises approximately 144 meters above sea level and forms part of the Montagnes Anglaises complex near Roura. Several small waterways and local paths intersect in the area around its base.
The hill formed through geological processes that shaped French Guiana's landscape over centuries. It represents a notable feature within the natural development of the Roura region.
People from the nearby villages of Stoupan and Mogès have long found their way through this area as part of daily life and local knowledge. The hill remains a recognizable landmark in their relationship with the surrounding forest.
The location can be reached using precise coordinates for navigation through the network of local paths and streams. Visitors should expect wet conditions and dense vegetation typical of this forested area.
Three distinct waterways meet near this formation: Crique Hove, Crique Blanche, and Crique Gabrielle. This convergence of water sources creates an unusual hydrological pattern worth observing during a visit.
