iExplore Mauritius (Trip #45883)

Tour Overview

The Arabs were the first to visit the island in the 16th century followed by the Dutch, the French and the British who used the island as a port of call for ships that crossed the Indian Ocean. Ideally located in this part of the world, the island was then a strategic port on the spice route.

Of varied origins, Mauritians forged themselves a common destiny centuries ago. Descendants of slaves, immigrants, indentured laborers and colonizers mix peacefully everyday. On this little corner of the planet, the Mauritian nation, with a little more than one million people from four continents, feeds and enriches itself on ancestral traditions from Europe, Africa, India and age-old China.

You can go and discover incredible hidden facets of the island, be they historical, cultural or social. But you will fall in love with the immaculate beauties that nature has endowed the island with. The locations offer an extraordinarily colorful panorama with exotic perfumes, rocked by the rhythm of the daily life of Mauritians.

The golden beaches of fine sand blend with turquoise lagoons protected by coral reefs. Inland, the Black River Gorges offer a striking view over luxurious vegetation which shelters endemic species. The sugarcane fields extend to infinity and drape the proud and majestic mountain ranges whose contours continue to inspire poets and travelers at dusk.
