Mark Twain was resoulutely of the opinion that God made Mauritius first, and then Heaven - Heaven, he claimed, being copied from Mauritius . . . Come see for yourself!
About MauritiusOn the map tiny Mauritius appears as no more than a speck amid
the blue eternity of the Indian Ocean, 1,200 miles off the coast of East Africa.
But into an area the size of an English county Mauritius packs
extravagant, ever-changing contrasts that defy geography. At sea level the
landscape is carpeted by the luxuriant green of vast sugar-cane plantations.
Against the skyline rise the dramatic purple silhouettes of craggy volcanic
mountains, amid which verdant tropical forests, waterfalls, gorges and
fast-flowing rivers await exploration.
Above all, there’s Mauritius’
long, fretted coastline, fringed by a delicate tracery of waving casuarinas -
and 100 miles of exotic, sandy beaches.
The bays and coves that line the
island’s shores, protected by one of the world's longest unbroken coral reefs,
and the crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters, make Mauritius a superb holiday
choice for the beachcomber and watersports enthusiast. Its hospitable welcome is
another Mauritius speciality. A melting-pot of races, religions and cultures,
the island has in the past welcomed Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, French, British,
Indians, Chinese and Africans. The result? Today’s Mauritians today do not see
themselves as any of these - but as just a cosmopolitan island people, living in
easygoing harmony in this genuinely friendly Indian Ocean setting.
