LE TROU DE FER
” Le Trou de Fer ” is a huge abyss from a geological depression of Piton des Neiges, in which flows several streams.
This site is inaccessible for general public (only some qualified canyoning praticioners can go ) but a lookout gives a wonderful view of its incredible waterfalls, overflown by our helicopter.
FORÊT DE BÉLOUVE
Located on the territory of Salazie town, ” la fôret de Bélouve ” is easily accessible from la Plaine des Palmistes. This spot takes us aback by its density and its vegetations’ variety.
TAKAMAKA’S WATERFALLS
The valley of Takamaka lacerete deeply the East side of the massif of Piton des Neiges. It captures the landscape with its abrupt ramparts, therefore surrounding one of the longest waterfall of the Island, la Rivière des Marsouins.
Extending, with a waterfall scenery, le plateau de Bébour, the valley draine water soaking upstream the mountains forests, rich with a remarkable biodiversity.
The small road leading up to it opens at its terminus on a panorama of great nature, integral part of the heart of the National Park and the World Heritage Property. The omnipresent water is used to produce electricity. It feeds two stations made invisible, by an astonishing underground implantation, imposed by the very hilly relief. It is therefore recommended to be well informed about the weather and the prefectoral decrees, to be equipped for hiking without forgetting water, a cap and a blanket before going there.
