Turn places into a route

Don't visit Mauritius as a list of pins.

Cluster nearby places into realistic days. Chamarel, Black River Gorges and Le Morne work naturally together; Mahébourg and Blue Bay make a strong southeast day; Cap Malheureux can anchor a north-coast route.

Use our West Mauritius travel guide to plan the western part of your trip. For a day combining the southeast and south, consult our South Mauritius travel guide. Plan the northern part of your trip with our North Mauritius travel guide.
