Wild South the south-west wind blowing more or less strongly all year round, makes the waves dance endlessly. The southern landscapes are unique, with impressive basaltic cliffs flowing into the ocean. This part of the island is not recommended for swimming, with the exception of some beaches such as Blue Bay, which is also a protected marine park.
You'll be heading to Trou Aux Cerfs which is one of the famous natural tourist attractions in Mauritius. The dormant volcanic crater is around 605 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 350 meters & a depth of around 100 meters. Unlike the typical volcanic features, Trou aux Cerfs’ crater is surrounded by a vast area of lush forest consisting of indigenous plant species and some giant green pine trees.
Afterward, heading to Mare Aux Vacoas reservoir which has the honor of being the largest reservoir on the island with a capacity of almost 26 million cubic meters and is simultaneously a rather popular stop for tourists visiting the south of the island. Although nothing as fancy as the other attractions in Mauritius, Mare aux Vacoas is a gem hidden between lines of thick forests
Grand Bassin is a crater lake, about 550 meters above sea level, located in the mountainous Southwest of Mauritius. On the shoreline sits a temple along with a collection of small shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other gods. During your visit to this sacred site, you will inevitably be awestruck by the gigantic statue of Lord Shiva. Alexandra Falls is indeed one of the most emblematic & popular sites of the island. Famous not only for its breathtaking beauty, Alexandra Falls also offers visitors the chance to live a unique experience with nature. Once you are there, do not miss the chance to admire and capture on your camera the panoramic view of the South-East Coast with its turquoise ocean.
On the right side of the viewpoint, you can see a breathtaking waterfall. The path leading to the viewpoint has a unique ambiance of its own with some souvenir stalls. The Black River Gorges Nature Reserve was constructed in order to save the natural vegetation of the island and make it one of the most important Mauritian sights. The Black River Gorges National park protects most of the island's remaining rainforest and is home to many species of wild animals and birds.
The Chamarel village where you will be able to see the culture of this magnificent village which is completely different from other villages in Mauritius.

Next, you'll head to Maconde viewpoint to admire the panoramic view of the remarkable ocean. You will feel like "you are in the middle of the ocean." Between Le Morne and Baie du Cap is where you will be able to witness a stunning coastal view from up above on the Maconde View Point. The viewpoint can be accessed by climbing up a set of narrow stairs. Here you will be able to admire the remarkable ocean, the nearby coastal village, and the occasional fishermen on the shore
Pretty little coastal town steeped in history, Mahébourg is welcoming and perfect to discover the daily life of Mauritians. I adored the typical Creole houses, the authentic shops, the waterfront and the picturesque alleys.
You will be able to take advantage of your visit to visit the biscuit factory Rault which manufactures the traditional Mauritian biscuits with cassava. The covered market is also very nice, with lots of fruits, vegetables and local spices to discover.
The Ferney Valley, a few kilometers north of Mahebourg, is a nature reserve of more than 200 hectares composed of tropical forest and hilly meadows. That’s wonderful! The entrance costs about 8 euros (325 rs) and you will easily spend 2 to 3 hours walking quietly while enjoying the many panoramas on the bay of Mahébourg.
