Hiking
Although principally thought of as a beach destination, Mauritius has some wonderful places to go hiking with many walks being an ideal length for a full day trip.
The Black River Gorges National Park is a popular area for hiking with Curepipe acting as the main starting point, and these hikes generally take you through a spectacular variety of forest and sugar cane with excellent views of waterfalls and river valleys.
Le Pouce, Les Montagnes Bambous and the Domaine du Chasseur are other areas where there are some fantastic trails to be walked.
The waterfall and coloured earths at Charmarel as well as the Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens are also well worth a visit.
