Cirques

With its three cirques offering scenery that is out of this world, Reunion Island tells the story of the birth of our planet. Each cirque is protected by a rampart sculpted by erosion along a narrow wall of greenery, which opens up over a magnificent site, bathed in a light that will take your breath away. A multitude of waterfalls hurtle down the tree-covered slopes, made up of chayote vines or virgin forest.

Three preserved cirques

Combining a huge diversity of scenery and cultures, it is the only destination that enables you to enjoy the most wonderful experiences in one trip. In only 2,500 km², this island offers a tremendous blend of unspoiled nature and authentic cultures. With 42% of its territory classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it makes an impossible dream possible: that of travelling around the world in just a few days.

Set out in a form resembling an ace of clubs, Piton des Neiges‘s cluster of three cirques each affirm their individuality. From the extraordinary Mafate, which is only accessible on foot, you can enjoy an authentic and enhancing experience. From the lush Salazie, in the heart of creole culture, you will have the opportunity to admire one of the island’s most beautiful waterfalls. From the majestic Cilaos, which is home to the island’s hot springs, you will be able to start the ascent of Piton des Neiges.

When nature is both exceptional and accessible, when the flora and fauna are on a par with marvels, when everything is there to be enjoyed…. You are in Reunion Island.
