Gastronomy

The caravan of Anwar or the delicious “Gato piment”

If you head towards the south west coast, through Tamarin, you will not be able to miss a blue, white and red coloured caravan in the carpark of the Franprix supermarket.


Rault biscuit factory : manioc filling

If you head towards the south of the island, or more precisely, Mahebourg, do not miss out on this biscuit factory as its specialties are not to be found elsewhere.

Handcrafts and Tradition

Mauritius glass gallery: handcrafted glasses

Are you a lover of arts and crafts?  If so, drop in at the "Mauritius Glass Gallery," in Phoenix where a museum and a workshop tells one about the history of glass. 




In the orchards of Labourdonnais

Nestled in the small village of Mapou, a few kilometres from Grand Bay, the Orchards of Labourdonnais is an essential site that should not be missed.

Nature and site discovery

At the foot of Rochester Falls

This waterfall is popular during the school holidays and at weekends.  The road that leads to the waterfall is slightly rough and lost in the middle of the sugar cane fields, but this marvelous site is worth the effort.    


The peak of Pieter Both

If you love big thrills, then this peak is ideal for you.  Visible from everywhere across the northern part of the island, the Pieter Both is an unusual peak, with a ball of rock on the top of it.
