Southwest Mauritius

These are several sites along the southwestern part of Mauritius. The map point above is at La Prairie on the south coast.. These sites here are to the west of that and northward up the coast.
The 1st picture is along Flic en Flac beach. The is the 2nd favorite tourist beach on Mauritius. The most popular is Grand Baie on the north coast. I didn't get quite that far.
The 2nd picture is of active salt pans in Tamarin where they are making salt by evaporating seawater. This is the only remaining place on Mauritius where this is still done.
The 3rd picture is taken at the crater overlook in Black River Gorges National Park. The view is to the west looking over the route I traveled from Port Lewis. Should I get back to Mauritius, I'll spend more time here.
The 4th picture is at La Prairie. The road winds along a narrow peninsula, then cuts through the rock just before the end. The picture is taken from the viewpoint at the tip beyond the rock cut.En savoir plus
