Mauritius Attractions and Sight Seeing


Le Morne Mountain

Le Morne Mountain on the south west coast is very imposing, and marks the south-western border of Mauritius. It is said that in the early 19th Century, escaped slaves managed to climb to the top to hide, and would jump off it to a certain death rather than face recapture by their owners.
