Mauritius: reviews and recommendations of tourists

So, you chose Mauritius as your holiday destination. Reviews of experienced travelers will tell you which island of the country, and even what part of it to choose for your residence, what you need to see and what to try. And also recommend how to behave in order to avoid problems, and what is best to bring home as a souvenir for memory.

Most tourists go to this island country overseas and the sun, but the concept of beach rest for different people is different. Someone put palm trees, sand, and that around there was not a soul, but someone more like water motorcycles, inflatable "bananas" and other paraphernalia. Someone likes diving and snorkeling, someone dreams of "riding" a high wave, and someone panically fears sea excitement and prefers to flounder in a shallow bay.

Mauritius - the reviews of tourists in this solidarity - gives the possibility of an unlimited choice of beaches for different tastes, and within the same island. Take at least the main, eponymous country. In the north - it's crowded, the entire coast is filled with expensive fashionable spa hotels. In the east, where dry winds from Africa are blowing, is deserted, and therefore virgin landscapes have been preserved.

The western part is suitable for a newly-married couple: romantic sunsets, quiet, measured rest, not so many people as in the north, most of the hotels are secluded bungalows hidden among the luscious tropical greenery - what else is needed for a honeymoon? It is also a favorite place for divers, as the western coast borders the coral reef. The south of the island awaits surfers and those who enjoy active excursion holidays. Mauritius (the reviews recommend taking this into account) consists of several islands. Kargados-Carajos, Agalega and Rodriguez are particularly worth a visit.

This country gives an opportunity to engage in mountain tourism. Although the peaks are small (the highest point - Rivière Noire - towers over the sea at 828 m), but very picturesque. You can climb to this peak or to the Peter-Bot (821 m.) And Pus (812 m.) Mountains, and also to descend into the crater of the long-dead volcano Trou-o-Cerf. Many recommend visiting the capital of the state of Mauritius. Reviews of tours in the capital of Port Louis are very enthusiastic. There it is necessary to see the Jumma Mosque, the Church of St. James and the Hindu-Tamil Temple of Maeswarat. Also interesting is Chinatown due to the colorful houses and way of life of local Chinese.

Those who come for the first time to Mauritius, the warnings warn: do not buy a "tonic herb" from beach dealers shells. This product is officially regarded as a drug, and for its storage can be assigned a fine or even expulsion from the country. It is better to bring home a model of the ship - according to the skill of their manufacture the Mauritians do not know their peers. Also here they sew high-quality and inexpensive clothes.

The cuisine of the state of Mauritius is also good. The reviews do not cease to be moved by the fact that she absorbed all the best of the culinary traditions of the numerous colonizers who visited here. You can enjoy a real French meal - sabaion, shatyni and other sauces are used everywhere. Do you want real African exotics? Batata with spices, sandwiches "puri" and other burning delights of the descendants of slaves brought from Madagascar will remain in your memory for a long time. Indian and South-Eastern cuisine is also popular here. On the table of local residents there are always a lot of fish, seafood and a wide variety of fruits.
