and European heritages spanning over centuries. It also has a symbolic importance in

From the deepest hues of blues in the Indian Ocean to the lightest whites , yellows and purples of the flowers and festival costumes, to the reds and greens in between of the mountains’ flora, the different peoples who rightfully lay claim to the Island as their home, Mauritius is a truly a land of beautifully contrasting colours. 

But the hallmark of the Island which makes every visitor feel at home is the harmony of its social mosaic. Drawn from the Islands’  “checkered history of being colonized by practically everyone - including the Dutch, French, and British”, African, Indian, Chinese and Europeans thrive peaceably here as one Nation; proof that humans can indeed  transcend their cultural, racial and religious differences. 

The Le Morne Mountain become a symbol of freedom for runaway slaves in the 17th and 18th century. By the early 19th Century, Maroons made up about 85% of the total island’s population. The island eventually gained the title of the ‘Maroon Republic’ due to the numerous settlements on Le Morne Mountain. Embrace the freedom and choose  from the numerous water sports  such as diving, surfing, deep sea fishing, hike the mountains , take a wildlife adventure, pump up your adrenaline on a zip line, laze on the sandy beaches, walk the streets tasting highly spiced street food, cooked ‘just like at home’,  Join the festival dances," who cares for right or left feet?"  blend in, You are home...
