About this activity

Discover the beautiful village of Cilaos by private vehicle with driver.

We first take the famous 400 bends road that will take us to the magnificent ramparts and pit up to an altitude of 1200 meters

Then, join the Roche Merveilleeuse to admire the magnificent 360-degree panorama with the Piton des Neiges behind us.

We then go to Cilaos village: the calm and charm of this traditional place are exceptional. You walk through its streets to discover its church, its shops and traditional Creole huts.

Then it’s time to have lunch and enjoy the local specialties: lentils and wine! A short walk around the Mare à Joncs natural lake will make you digest well!

Then it’s time to head back down to the bottom of the island: a stop at the island’s largest black sand beach will allow you to end the day pleasantly!
