DUNIENZIL

Like all the guided electric mountain bike rides organized by Dunienzil, a small, family-run Mauritian company run by enthusiasts, the Grand Port ride immerses you in the history of Mauritius (in this case, that of the Dutch, the island's first settlers) and gives you the chance to meet some of the region's craftsmen: basket-makers from the village's active workshop, and Pop, one of the island's last remaining marine carpenters. Several interesting stops punctuate the leisurely stroll, which ends with a typical lunch on the historic site of Falaise Rouge.
