Mauritius

Hiking, Trekking, Canyoning

Although principally thought of as a beach destination, Mauritius’s lush inland parts and majestic scenery are well worth discovering. From dormant volcanos to sacred lakes, Mauritius offers an array of wonderful places perfect for hiking, trekking or simply picknicking, with many walks being an ideal length for a full day trip.

The rolling landscape of Black River Gorges National Park is a popular area for hiking with Curepipe acting as the main starting point.  These trails generally take you through a variety of forest, sugar cane and tea plantations with spectacular views of river valleys perfect for soaking in the timeless charm of a colonial era.

Alternatively you can venture quad biking, canyoning the hidden waterfalls jumping into natural water ponds, sliding down rocks and hiking through rugged terrain, or try bathing in clear waters and the spectacular glides along a zip line.  The waterfall and Seven Coloured Earths at Chamarel are also well worth a visit.

Not to be missed is a leisurely walk amongst the impressive collection of indigenous and exotic plants at the famous Pamplemousse Botanical Gardens.
