Vallée de Mai, Seychelles

Displayed:   times.

On the island of Praslin, Vallée de Mai has the Seychelles' greatest concentration of coco de mer palms - almost 4000 of them. This valley's prehistoric forest is World Heritage listed. Palms in the valley include the palmiste, latanier, splayed traveller's palm and Chinese fans. The sunlight filtering through their fronds and hitting the greens and oranges of the leaves will make you go all poetic. Other interesting plants in the valley are the wild pineapple, wild coffee and the allspice bush - you should also keep an eye out for the Seychelles black parrot, which is only found on Praslin. If you're going to visit Vallée, keep to the tracks, don't take anything away and don't leave anything behind - this is an incredibly fragile forest.
