Itinerary
1
Stop 1
1st step: The Blower! The blower is a natural site that, under the action of waves, causes a geyser to gush up to several tens of meters high!
2
Stop 2
2nd stage: the black sand beach! We then stop on the longest black sand beach on the island: the beach of the Salt Pond, a mixture of olivines and volcanic sand: an extraordinary beauty.
3
Stop 3
Stage 3: the chasm! A little further, let’s discover the Salt Pond Abyss. It is a long volcanic chasm in which the waves come to end their run spectacularly. The site is very nice and particularly impressive when the swell is strong!
4
Stop 4
4th stage: viewpoint over Manapany! This viewpoint offers a superb panorama of the Indian Ocean and the green village of Manapany les Bains. We can see the long pebble beach as well as the swimming pool.

Stop 5
Stage 5: Langevin! Continue in the south of the island and make a stop at the Langevin River. The Grand Galet waterfall is one of the most beautiful on the island!
6
Stop 6
6th stage: Cap-Villagne! We now arrive at the famous Cap Méchant: this is where we will have lunch. The place is surprising: a vast green lawn lines black ebony rocks flowing into the deep blue of the ocean. A unique landscape where the forces of nature are fully expressed!
7
Stop 7
7th stage: the Route des Laves! We now arrive in the Grand Brûlé: but what is this place? During large volcanic eruptions, lava flows flow down the flank of the volcano in a very wide corridor (the Grand Brûlé) before ending up in the ocean. There then remain gigantic fields of solidified volcanic rocks, only one road crosses this unique landscape: the Route des Laves, we take it.
8
Stop 8
8th stage: Notre-Dame des Laves Let's continue our journey to Sainte-Rose, where the church of Notre-Dame des Laves still stands proudly. It was in 1977, during a major volcanic eruption, that a lava flow destroyed everything in its path, but miraculously stopped at the entrance to the building before going around it. The legend was born.
9
Stop 9
9th stage: the East River Bridge. Shortly after Saint-Rose, we stop by an old suspension bridge over the Rivière de l’Est, with a maximum span of 152 metres, it was actually the longest bridge in the world when it was built in 1894! It is a remarkable work of art completely restored.
10
Stop 10
Step 10: The Church of Sainte-Anne! We now pass a baroque church whose beauty attracts the eyes. The church of Sainte-Anne, classified as a historic monument in 1982, is one of the remarkable churches on the island!
11
Stop 11
Stage 11: Niagara Waterfall! Now let's go north towards Sainte-Suzanne. We take a narrow road in the middle of the sugar cane fields to reach a small cove from which a beautiful waterfall flows. It is named Niagara, because in rainy periods its flow can be torrential, like the famous Niagara Falls!
12
Stop 12
Stage 12: The Barachois of Saint-Denis! The Barachois de Saint-Denis is an emblematic place of Réunion. It was once a small port/landing. The few cannon remnants, supposed to repel the English invasion of 1810, still face the sea. Today, it is a popular place to walk, being close to the prefecture and the statue of the Reunion war hero Roland Garros.
13
Stop 13
13th stage: Cap-la-Houssaye! Now it’s time to go back west! Our tour of the island will end with a final stop: Cap-la-Houssaye. There are two completely different environments: The savannah and its expanses of golden grass under the scorching sun give this place an air of Africa: only lions are missing! The vertiginous cliffs flowing into the ocean: a magnificent panorama of the entire Bay of Saint Paul!
