ASCENSION DU PIETER BOTH

It's the island's second-highest peak, at 823 meters, and much more technical and difficult to access than Le Pouce, so much so that a guide is required for its ASCENSION. The mountain is emblematic and recognizable by the large, ball-shaped rock at its summit, which can only be reached by roping up. At the top, the 360-degree view across Mauritius to the northern islets is awe-inspiring. The descent can only be made by abseiling. A number of local service providers offer this service, including Vertical World, Otelair and Lokal Adventure.
