Having the Capital City of Port Louis on one side and St. Pierre at the other, Le Pouce Mountain is the third highest in Mauritius with its peak at 812 meters. This mountain was once the Mountain of Immortals, named after a plant still found on the mountain to this day. Le Pouce Mountain will offer you a splendid panorama of Coin de Mire, the capital city, and other sites on the island. During your hike to the summit you can explore the flora-covered mountain, and discover exotic plants as well as some rare and unique endemic species. Part of the Moka Mountain Ranges, the longest of the Island, Le Pouce is nestled between Montagne des Signaux and Pieter Both mountain- the second highest peak at 820 meters.
