Mauritius deserves many trips
There are luxury resorts for honeymooners and dream beaches , of course, but although many do not know it, Mauricio It is also a perfect destination for outdoor sports lovers , for the foodies and for the families traveling with children . Among other things...
IMPOSSIBLE BLUES
If the sea of Mauritius could fascinate the writer and adventurer Mark Twain or to the very Charles Darwin —That he dedicated himself to the study of its coral bottoms— it is not surprising that the indigo of these waters leaves the rest of the mortals who arrive on the island with their mouths open.
The favorite beaches of those who live here? Belle Mare, Trou aux Biches and Tamarin.
Mauritius from the skies
The first, in the East Coast , is the one with the most intense color palette —the sea on this coast has an indescribable range of blues— so it is not surprising that many of the luxury hotels that splash Mauricio have settled in this part of the island map.
In this place the coral reef is a gift for underwater life lovers , which has nothing to envy to that of the neighbors Seychelles island , traditional mecca for divers in this part of the world. These funds are inhabited by a complex marine ecosystem with species ranging from the tiny diamond fish to the superb whale shark , the largest fish that exists.
Because Mauritius is a romantic destination, yes, but it awaits many more attractions than romance
Let's go back to the surface to continue touring those beaches that the islanders recommended to us: Trou aux Biches and Tamarin , both located on the western coast of Mauritius. The first stands out for its varied restoration offer and it is the favorite among local families, who tend to frequent it on weekends without missing the picnic, umbrellas and floats.
Tamarin , the third in the list of the most desired is — along with the nearby beach of Flic en Flac — for its offer in fashionable water sports such as kitesurfing and paddleboarding, which attract a young audience in search of new emotions.

EFFECT WOW!
Although the sea is Mauritius's best letter of introduction, limiting yourself to its shores is to remain at the gates of the true Eden that this place is. Inland the traveler will encounter deep jungles and volcanic landscapes that are not seen anywhere else on the planet.
In the south of the island, for example, hide the colored lands of Chamarel, a place where the ground is dyed incredible ochres, oranges and browns; a curious stony rainbow produced by uneven cooling of the lava in different areas of the earth's surface.
Very close to this phenomenon, the view falls into the void in another no less impressive enclave: the Chamarel waterfalls , a vertiginous waterfall surrounded by exuberant tropical vegetation.
These two natural wonders are delimited by the Black River Gorges National Park , a natural area dotted with deep ravines and wooded mountains, among which the Pitón de la Petite Rivière Noire , which with its scarce 828 meters is the highest on the island. This national park is perfect for those looking for a mountain alternative to the more extensive sea offer in Mauritius. And on top of that, it's Heritage of humanity by unesco.

WITH CHILD'S EYES
And also in green, at the northern end of the island is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mauritius: Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Gardens, created in 1735 to avoid French dependence on spices that came from Asia.
Currently, the garden fascinates botanists from all over the world and also other visitors - especially children - who discover here, for the first time, how is the cinnamon tree, how big is the cocoa fruit or where does the pepper come from.
And that's not all. To the beaches that leave those who contemplate them open-mouthed, to that interior of generous vegetal beauty and to the gardens that are an introduction to unknown smells, many other things must be added: hindu culture that is breathed in temples and markets, the exotic flavors of fish and tropical fruits, the endemic fauna,...
To make this trip a reality, we chose a high altitude Cicero, like B the travel brand. Also, take note: between June 24 and October 7, the EVELOP company will operate direct flights between Madrid and Mauritius every Monday.
