A trip into the mountains will reveal the lush green and unspoilt beauty of this National Park. You may be lucky enough to spot a kestrel or straw-tailed tropic bird as you gaze towards the far-distant ocean and enjoy the calm beauty of the surrounding countryside. The Black River Gorges region was declared a national park in 1994. It is as famous for its waterfalls, mist covered hill slopes and clear pools as it for its wildlife. The Black River Gorges National Park lies on a plateau slightly higher than the surrounding plains, so the temperature at the Black River Gorges is lower than in the plains. The Alexandra waterfalls provide a beautiful backdrop to the lush hillocks in the Black River Gorges National Park. From the National Park, a visitor can have a splendid view of the southern shores of Mauritius. A trek through the Park is invigorating, as you pass through trails lined with Chinese guava trees and pass through fields of wild sugarcane. The Plaine Champagne is the highest point in the Park, and as you look down into the valley below, you will get a taste of what paradise might look like. Many tourists who have looked at the panoramic view from the Plaine have felt a sense of awe as they looked down into the Gorge below. |
