Step into the heart of Mauritius and uncover the hidden wonders of the Black River Gorges National Park, a 67.54 km² expanse of untouched wilderness. Known as the "lungs of Mauritius," this world-unique eco-system is home to numerous varieties of species such as the Echo-Parakeet, the Mauritian Kestrel or the Pink Pigeon. During this hike we will discover different viewpoints from which we can contemplate different parts of the park and its surroundings…
Meet your guide at the designated meeting point for a warm welcome. Once all participants have arrived, follow your guide in your respective vehicles to the starting point of the hike, located approximately 4.3 km further along at the Black River Gorges National Park parking area. Before setting off, your guide will provide a safety briefing, explain the route, and answer any questions.
Begin a steady ascent through the native forest of Black River Gorges National Park. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the area's unique flora and fauna before reaching the first viewpoint, Mare aux Joncs, also known as Bats Valley, where thousands of Mauritian fruit bats can often be seen soaring above the canopy. Take a short break to hydrate, enjoy the scenery, and capture some memorable photos.
