In the Vanilla Islands.
It is often associated with Rodrigues or Réunion Island when traveling to this part of the continent. Mauritius is a beauty in its own right. Endemic species galore, and a tranquil way of life. Its waters are blue, its forests and “mountains” green and flourishing as you pass through Le Morne, or red and golden as you head south to Chamarel. You can also observe its fauna: turtles in particular, in the Mascareignes reserve, or monkeys.
