Travel and transport agencies Cilaos

The only service station in the Cilaos circus, the Engen station is a must. Even Miss Reunion 2018 gets her picture taken there! On a more serious note, before going through the 400 corners of the cirque de Cilaos, it's best to make sure you have enough petrol so you don't break down, check the good quality of the tyres and the oil levels. Getting a tow truck on this winding road can be costly. You'll also find food and everyday items.

Discover Cilaos by bike - it's possible! Christophe Payet rents AE mountain bikes (all-terrain with electric assistance-Scott and KTM) by the half-day or day. You can ride the 53 km of trails (roads and paths) on your own, with a detailed map in hand. Cilaos has a dozen signposted circuits, ranging from 1.5 km (Petit Matarum) to 20 km (Grande boucle de Cilaos), from very easy (accessible to families) to very difficult (for hardened sportsmen and women). Reservations recommended at weekends and during school vacations.
