Le Morne Brabant is a peninsula in Mauritius and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Understand

edit

Le Morne is a peninsula surrounded by a lagoon and featuring an impressive basalt monolith rising 556 metres (1,824 ft) into the sky. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.

Get in

edit

There is a car park at the bottom. Very generally, drive south from Flic en Flac. Use GPS to make your life easier.

Get around

edit

You can hike Le Morne either independently or with a guide. The trail to the top is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) and takes about 3-4 hours. The hike is somewhat challenging. The top portion is steep and rocky. It's probably not safe to do the hike in the rain.
