Mauritius & La Réunion - Reiseführer A bis Z

About the Destination Mauritius & Réunion

Mauritius, Réunion, and Rodrigues - the three Mascarene Islands share similarities in their history and inhabitants, yet each offers a completely different world. There is luxurious Mauritius, a dream destination for honeymooners and golfers. An underwater paradise with abundant marine life attracts deep-sea fishermen from around the globe. Rodrigues, on the other hand, is quite different: the sister island, located 600 kilometers away, is a down-to-earth place with an African laid-back lifestyle, where goats and sheep still dominate the roads. Last but not least is La Réunion. This French overseas department enchants with its bizarrely rugged valleys and the highest mountain in the Indian Ocean at 3,071 meters, featuring an active volcano that is 'within reach' and more than 1,000 kilometers of hiking trails through valleys and high plateaus, misty forests, and jungles.
