South Island, Mauritius

Displayed:   times.

Curepipe is the centre of a spread-out suburban area, and offers some good shopping opportunities. Its main attraction for visitors, though, is an extinct volcano, Trou aux Cerfs, west of the town near the botanical gardens, with a massive wooded crater floor. Apart from the crater, it is a good place for shopping. Also situated in the South Island is Grand Bassin, the sacred place for a large number of Mauritians of Hindu faith, especially on the occasion of Maha Shivaratree. It is a natural lake resting in the crater of an extinct volcano. Also worth visiting are Casela Bird Park and Chamarel where one can see multi- coloured volcanic earth.
