Best for

Hiking, photography & slow, scenic travel.

Time it right

Start early; finish at the coast for sunset - the light is best.

Good to know

Take it slow - The south-west is greener & quieter - don't rush it.

One ticket - Chamarel Falls & Seven Coloured Earth share an entrance.

Hike with care - Climb Le Morne with a guide; respect its heritage.

Golden hour - Start early and end by the sea for the best light.
