The largest national park on the island, Black River Gorges is a bird-watcher’s paradise and a trekker’s dream. Famous for its waterfalls and vistas, the park is cooler than much of the island, where guides can help discover Mauritius’ natural heritage in one of the most extraordinary forests in the world, harboring over 300 species of native and endemic flowering plants and nine species of birds unique to Mauritius. A swim in the river is the perfect break from the breathtaking views.
