Where lush landscapes meet adventure.

In the south-western corner of the island you will find the best hiking, in the mountainous area of Chamarel, and at Black River Gorges National Park. Here you can walk through jungles and forests, past beautiful waterfalls, giant tortoises and awesome birdlife. You may not be able to see a dodo anymore, but you can see pink pigeons and green parrots, as well as many other colourful bird species. Something else worth leaving the beaches for is the Seven Coloured Earth Geopark in Chamarel, which is where an interesting sand geological formation has occurred.

Other areas of interest in the interior are The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in Pampelmousse, the Champs de Mars race track in Port Louis and of course, the island features multiple golf courses for those who like to hit a golf ball.
