What To Expect
A guided hike in the natural flora of Mauritius with rewarding breath-taking 360-degree views from the second highest peak of the island. The route begins in La Laura, a small peaceful village where you will meet your guide who will give a briefing and instructions to guide you along your journey. You will begin walking on the trail that will lead to the notch just below the summit. The guide will accompany you and will help you whenever needed. They also show you a few hidden treasures on the way to the top and narrate many stories on Pieter Both. The “main” attraction is the big boulder, the gigantic rock formation at the very top which resembles a human head. This is often the most challenging part of the hike and to climb up, you will need the help of some ropes and the instructions of the guides. Once at the top, take in the well-deserved views of the island along with a great feeling of accomplishment. Get your pictures taken like the ones you have seen all over postcards and social media this is after all a moment to never forget and to celebrate. You will then start to make your way back, satisfied with the day you have had while enjoying some fresh fruits and snacks.
