Notes : Small peninsula located to the southwest of Mauritius island, the peninsula takes its name from the mountain that dominates it. In Mauritius the mountain is defined as a "sacred" area as a sign of the struggle for slavery. It was a refuge for some slaves who went to take refuge in the various caves on the mountain. When, however, the British guards went to the mountain in the mid-eighties to announce the end of slavery, the same slaves bowed down (some local guides claim from the highest part and also the one facing Madagascar or Africa, ie their origin). Top access is not free access. It serves a local guide, both for lack of signage, and because the access is enclosed and enclosed. In the area there are species of rare plants and other more common such as pink pepper. For some years now it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
