Heaven in the Indian Ocean - Mauritius
Tranquil, beautiful beaches encircle the island of Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Madagascar, while tropical forests and odd geological formations consist of the interior.
LOCATED OFF the eastern coast of Africa, the island of Mauritius is flooded with an eclectic mix of cultures. It a linking pin among Europe, India, and Africa. The Portuguese came here first, but possession of the land was passed to the Dutch, the French, and finally to the British. With its closeness to Africa and the slave trade from India these vastly diverse cultures intertwined, creating a distinct island paradise. In order to gain access to land-based activities in Mauritius the best way is to hire a driver from a company like Solis. Black River Gorges and Tamarind Falls present a challenging hike, but one that can be concluded in a day. The initial descent onto the falls is actually sharp, but it does not need any hiking gear other than a powerful sneaker. Many waterfalls provide a rather deep pool of water at the lowest levels, so one should bring in clothing that can get wet. The pool is bound by large boulders that provide for good leverage to jump off into the cool water. In order to take a break from the tropical sun and humidity a brief swim is a fantastic way Curepipe and Trou aux Cerfs are worth a visit while visiting this part of the island. Trou aux Cerfs is one of the inactive volcanoes in Mauritius, and the small island town of Curepipe surrounds the summit. It is a free attraction and since one is already having fun outdoors it is worth the visit.
