Its long, pointy snout is directed skyward, while its other half lies on its side, offering enough steaks to feed the village. To the fishermen, it's their way of life. Floral designs as large as red pineapples, flowers reminiscent of huge corn dogs covered with red shells, red petals woven into hand baskets and blossoms resembling parts of the male and female anatomy better left to the imagination - the variety is endless, and these are just the red flowers. Les Ombrages is more a mini-rain forest. Along the short hike, the unusual flora and fauna present themselves with distinction.
Plants are light, dark, thin, thick, mottled, marbled.
You are surrounded by little brooks, the streams noisily hopping from rock to rock in stereo. Les Ombrages prepares you for the real rain forest - sort of. This is not ordinary foliage. Bamboo trees as large as tree trunks at home. Plants and leaves, orders of magnitude larger.
