by Jack Waltour 2 years ago Any list of Mauritius’s best-loved natural attractions is subjective, but we have ours. The five best, or top attractions of Mauritius, which no traveler should miss during his/her visit are the island of Ile aux Cerfs, the National Park Black River Gorges, Seven Coloured Earth, Flic-en-Flac, and Chamarel Waterfall. Snorkeling in the Ile aux Cerfs, hiking in Black River Gorges National Park, island-hopping, safari rides at Casela Nature Park, and more are some of the best activities travelers could try out during their next Mauritius trip.
If you are into the adventure-filled activities, check out the Black River Gorges National Park, one of the popular places to visit in south-western Mauritius. Located in south-west Mauritius, the Black River Gorges National Park is Mauritius biggest and best-looking national park. Black River Gorges National Park is the largest in this Indian Ocean Island, covering 6,754 hectares of rainforest, stretching over rolling hills and gorges, with plenty of waterfalls for you to trek up.
The forest, which was once home to the now-extinct Dodo, is also home to nine species of birds found only in this Indian Ocean island, along with 311 species of endemic flowering plants, making it an utterly unique environment. The park is home to more than 300 species of plants, and nine species of birds found only in Mauritius.
