MAKES WINDOW
Read moreAt 11 km from Les Makes, this breathtaking view of the Cilaos circus is a must. The access is equipped for people with reduced mobility. It is best to arrive at dawn and before 9am at the latest to enjoy the show. Count 1 hour drive from Les Bas. The winding D20 is signposted from Saint-Louis. From June to December, you will come across trailers overflowing with cane, pulled by tractors or, more rarely, by mocha oxen. It is also the starting point for hikes, including a 3.5-hour hike offering sumptuous panoramas.
WELCOME INTERPRETATION TRAIL
Read moreThis easy 1.3 km walk is registered on the NFB's list of Marmailles trails. The loop features explanatory panels on the fauna and flora. Here, the forest is generous: coloured woods, fanjans (tree ferns) and 70 other listed species will be discovered. There are even hundred-year-old affouches (huge and tortuous trees)! The loop is quickly closed and one comes out of it educated. It is better to park on the car parks of the plane tree area.
