Restricted Access

Climbing at Jurassic Park, Cayenne, Les Pistones and Panorama is allowed again. However, access via the normal approach is not possible (until end of June 2020), due to the installation of a large water purifying station. However, it is possible to get to Jurassic Park, etc. by using the path from a parking spot on the Gourdon/Greolieres road (approximately one km further on from the normal parking, where the canal system/water pipe goes under the road and reappears on the other side). This path eventually joins the original path, after about 15 mins, and skirts below where the current work is being carried out; it continues through 6 tunnels. There is an alternative path from L'Iroquoi, which joins a lower canal system/waterpipe and passes through 2 tunnels, which eventually leads up to La Turbine (continue from there to arrive at the exit from the 6th tunnel). Both are pretty long, around 30 mins. 

35m. Continue left just underneath the Diplodocus 3 chain to a kneebar on the left side of the big tufa then join and finish up La Queue du Diable. Much better than finishing in the middle of nowhere.
