Things to do in Colihaut

Why you should go

Ninety seconds on Colihaut

The forest above this north west village is the last ground on earth holding the Sisserou, the parrot on the national flag. Below it the road runs down to a coast of grey sand and fishing boats. The forest above it is the last stronghold of the Sisserou, the imperial amazon that appears on the national flag and lives nowhere else on earth. The Syndicate trail through that forest is the place people are taken to look for it.
