Hiking Le Morne Brabant is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventurous travellers. As the first guides to bring guests to this stunning mountain in 2004, our team knows all the secrets of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Le Morne Brabant is not only a sanctuary for runaway slaves, but also a haven for rare endemic species, including the beautiful Trochetia Boutoniana. The hike is exhilarating, with some steep sections that require the use of hands to progress safely. Once you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the west and southwest lagoons and parts of the island. The total duration of the hike is 210 to 240 minutes, and we meet in front of the Paradis Beach Comber resort before driving to the starting point. Don't miss the chance to explore the wild beauty of Le Morne Brabant!

What to expect
Découvrez Le Morne Brabant ! Une montagne du sud-ouest de l'Île Maurice, sur la péninsule du Morne. Déclarer patrimoine mondiale par l'UNESCO le 6 Juillet 2008, la montagne est le sanctuaire des esclaves marrons, qui se seraient jettés du haut de celle-ci pour préserver leur liberté et échapper à leurs maîtres. Se situant sur des terres privées, le Morne Brabant est l'une des montagnes les plus préservées de l'Île. On y retrouve une très haute densité, et variété, d'espèces endémiques, tels que la très rare, Trochetia Boutonania, notre emblème florale nationale.
