Review:
Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean that is known for its beautiful sandy beaches, stunning lagoons, and coral reefs. The interior of the island is mountainous and includes hiking opportunities such as the trails through the rainforest at Black River Gorges National Park, which offers stunning scenery of waterfalls and opportunities to see interesting wildlife such as the flying fox. Remnants of colonial history remain in the capital city Port Louis and include a plantation house and botanical gardens from the 18th century. October is an ideal month to visit because it is the island’s driest month and the warm, dry weather is just perfect for a beach getaway.
