SOME PLACES TO VISIT
The Pamplemousses Gardens are known to naturalists
throughout the world for their large collection of indigenous
and exotic plants, including the giant Victoria Amazonica
water lilies and many species of palm trees.
Chamarel A winding road leads from Case Noyale
village to the Coloured Earths of Chamarel : a hill with undulating
soil of different and contrasting shades. The different silvers
of blue, green, red and yellow are apparently the result of
the erosion of the volcanic ash. The neighbouring waterfalls
of Chamarel rise from the moors and the native vegetation.
Trou aux cerfs Mauritius was formed after intense
volcanic activity as proved by the Trou aux Cerfs crater,
on the plateau of Curepipe. This extinct volcano is 85 metres
deep with a diameter of 200 metres and offers an exceptional
view on the west of the island.
The Bird Garden of Casela Set in a magnificient
site between Bambous and Tamarin in the Riviere Noire district,
the Casela Bird Park hosts some 140 varieties of birds from
around the world. The main attraction remains the Mauritian
Pink Pigeon, one of the rarest birds in the world, still fighting
to avoid the fate of the dodo. One of the giant tortoises
is 150 years old. The park is open every day from 9 am to
5 pm and the entrance fee is Rs 125/150 on weekdays/weekends
Ile aux Cerfs There are no stags (cerfs)
remaining on this small island which now belongs to Le Touessrok
Sun Hotel and attracts large numbers of holiday-makers on
the east coast. The ferry runs several times each hour between
9 am and 4 pm and costs Rs 150 per person return, although
this is expected to increase. Le Touessrok Sun Hotel residents
travel for free. What you get when you step off the ferry
is a sheltered, crowded beach and lagoon for water sports
or sunbathing, restaurants and several souvenir stalls. You
can walk only around the seaward half of the island, that
is, clockwise from the landing site. On the island, there
is a boat house where you can hire water skis, pedalos, sailboards,
surfcats, Laser dinghies and canoes. Two-hour boat trips are
offered to the Grande Rivière Sud-Est waterfall; and there's
also a tour around Île aux Cerfs.
Domaine Les Pailles Ten minutes south of
Port-Louis lies the nature park of Domaine Les Pailles, stretching
over 3,000 acres at the foot of the Moka mountain range. You
can choose between touring the park in a Land-Rover, riding
in a horse-drawn carriage or in a train. The gardens also
feature a replica of an ancient sugarmill, an "alambic" -
an apparatus formerly used in distilling rum, a spice garden
and a natural spring.
