Mauritius Le Pouce peak, Port Louis

This hike, which is more popular with locals, takes you up to Le Pouce, which offers a great view over the entire island. Le Pouce is by the way the third highest mountain on the island.

The drone gives you a great opportunity to capture the panorama of the capital Port Louis and the surrounding mountains, especially at sunset.

Have a valid license with you.

You can park your car directly at the starting point of the hike. I have marked the spot for you.

The hike begins along a section of forest and then winds its way along a rock face. This section is marked as dangerous as there is an increased risk of falling rocks.

The last section to the peak is quite a challenge and should only be attempted if you are experienced on the mountain and have a head for heights. Please have the right equipment. At 4.2 kilometers for the return route, the hike is quite short, covering around 362 meters in altitude.
