The Route Provinciale Nord 2 (RPN2), better known as the “Koné-Tiwaka”, is the main cross-country road between the east and west coasts of the main island, and connects Koné to Touho in about an hour. Inaugurated in 2000 and 71 km long, it offers a route of exceptional beauty, winding in the midst of the mountain chain past the rivers, with rest and bathing areas and magnificent lookouts. The Col de Tango [Tango pass] rest area offers a unique panorama, from the lagoon and the Koné and Pouembout plain on the right, to the peaks of the central mountain chain on the left, and in between the Tia plateau, the Kopeto mining massif and the tribal villages in the valley below.
