Things to see and do La Plaine Des Cafres

A simple detour on the Route des Plaines allows you to discover this grandiose panorama, often forgotten by tourists. The vertiginous belvedere offers a plunging view of the Grand-Bassin islet, located 600 m below, at the bottom of the gorges of the arm of La Plaine. You can also see the Niagara waterfall from the South with the arduous ribs of Dimitile in the background. On the site you will find picnic kiosks, very popular on weekends, as well as a bar-truck and kiosks with fruit vendors, handicrafts, corks and samoussas.

At the edge of the grandiose panorama of the Rivière des Remparts a ravishing undergrowth, full of tamarinds, calumets and arums, stretches out on a gentle slope. The trail cuts through this colourful forest, rich in endemic Bourbon species, and climbs up to the hillsides that dominate the deep gorges of the river. The view is sublime. A belvedere allows you to discover the Mahavel scree and the enclosed islet of Roche-Plate, some 800 m below.

The Pat' Jaune company, a troupe of actors and musicians famous for its "Yab" music (de petits Blancs des Hauts), whose playful tunes describe the daily life of the Hauts de la Réunion with tenderness and humor, welcomes its audience to an astonishing space. The concept? To organize evenings of exchanges, shows and music, during which people sit down in a magnificent, luminous, wooded room, before being invited to sit on bleachers, in an intimate, warm room, to attend a concert like no other.
