ADAM WOODPECKER - PITON BOIS-DE-NÈFLES

Natural site to discover
5/5
2 reviews

Called Pic Adam or Piton Bois de Nèfles, this hike offers a beautiful view of the coast. Named after Captain Pierre Adam, who installed there and in Mauritius, in 1881, oil-powered optical signal devices, this peak is accessible by the Bois-de-Nèfles road. The point of view can be earned after a 1 to 2 hour walk of about 4 km. We recommend this hike from May to July, during the guava season! It is, moreover, accessible with the family.

ÎLET QUINQUINA

Natural site to discover

From Saint-Denis, take the direction " Bretagne Domenjod " then head towards the Rivière des Pluies. Just before the bridge, follow the sign indicating Ilet Quinquina. You arrive in a village of 200 inhabitants, where you can bivouac and picnic. Quinquina, a tree also known as the "anti-fever tree" used in pharmacies, is grown here. A change of scenery guaranteed. Go there rather during the week to the weekend for peace and quiet. For the more sporty, you can continue to the ravine of Grand Bénoune.

DEVIL'S BASIN

Natural site to discover

A trail that is regularly closed because it is quite dangerous, but a walk that is worth it when it is open. It is better to ask the ONF or the Maison de la montagne for information. The access is located on the D42, going up from Bellepierre towards Le Brûlé. At the level of the water reservoir, take the path of the hill on the right. The beginning of the path is indicated by a panel. You will pass through grandiose landscapes along the lush valley of the Saint-Denis River. The reward is a cool, shaded pool and waterfalls.
