Top Things to do in Le Morne
The 10 Best Things to do in Le Morne, Riviere Noire District
Kite surfers, paragliders and deep-sea fishermen flock to windswept La Morne, a small village on the southwest side of Mauritius. Le Morne Brabant Mountain, a dramatic basaltic rock peak dotted with caves that once harbored runaway slaves, presides over luxury resorts and a wide beach widely regarded as the best on the island. Throw in a shimmering turquoise lagoon and gorgeous sunsets and calling the town "paradise" doesn't seem like a cliché.

. Dicovering the Morne Brabant - The slave route The Morne Brabant is a mountain of the south-west of Mauritius, on the peninsula of the Morne. Declared World Heritage by UNESCO since July 6, 2008, the site is a sanctuary for runaway slaves and is a strong cultural and patrimonial symbol for every Mauritian. Being on private land, Le Morne Brabant is one of the most preserved and wildest mountains of the island. It includes a multitude of endemic species, such as the rare Trochetia Boutonania, and its red flaming flower. The hike to the summit of Morne Brabant lasts between three and four hours, depending on the homogeneity of the group. Once on top, we discover the breathtaking panoramic views on the west and south-west lagoons and part of of the island.

We had a fantastic morning climbing this amazing mountain, especially given its links to slavery and the stronghold it became for escapee slaves. Make sure you take a few minutes to appreciate the little makeshift village at the bottom too. My husband was apprehensive of climbing the mountain without a guide, but I can assure anyone wanting to take on La Morne that you can absolutely do it on your own. The paths are well travelled and easy to navigate. They do become narrower and steeper towards the top once you pass the ‘Warning’ sign. There are also plenty of other walkers to know you are going in the right direction. Once you pass the sign do prepared for a steep ascent and slight bit of rock climbing/scrambling. As dangerous as it looks, as long as you take your time you’ll make it to the top. While we were trekking we saw multiple children climbing as well as those wearing slightly less suited footwear. Our view from the top was somewhat hindered by the clouds, but it was still a great morning out all the same. Take plenty of water and maybe some lunch to have at the top too. It took us about 3 hours to go up and down. A must activity for anyone loving the outdoors!

Highly recommend using Company Vitamin Sea to take inclusive swimming with Dolphins and snorkelling at Crystal Rock. You won’t get here any other way than by boat unless you are staying at the exclusive beach resort opposite.

I took a helicopter tour with the main objective of viewing this optical illusion. It did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the view.

Le Morne Brabant is home to UNESCO's World Heritage site dedicated to the memory of the fight for freedom of the slaves in Mauritius...indeed in the world. The monument at the foot of the mountain comprises sculptures in stone from artists representing countries that have supplied slaves to Mauritius grouped around a centrepiece scultured by a Mauritian artist. A very peaceful place today but one cannot but feel an eerie force and s shiver will run down your spine when you cast your eyes aloft towards the top of the mountain from where the last slaves faced westwards towards Africa and jumped to their death to escape capture...not knowing that slavery had been abolished.
