South Mauritius: Trou aux Cerfs, Grand Bassin and Black River

The tour links three stops in the south and centre of the island. Trou aux Cerfs is a dormant volcano on the edge of Curepipe, its crater opening at 605 metres around a small lake. Grand Bassin, or Ganga Talao, is a crater lake in the heights of Savanne, a major site of Mauritian Hinduism, watched over by a thirty-three-metre statue of Shiva. Black River, lastly, is the south-western district, home to the largest national park on the island.
