2022-09 FR Reunion Island [230 photos | date asc | see 303 more photos | see 141 video clips]
An amazing 3-week holiday in that very green volcanic island that offers multiple opportunities for nature lovers.
We hiked 5 days in luxuriant vegetation, along deep gorges and crystal clear rivers with thousands of natural pools and waterfalls, hiked under cold rain to one of the most active volcano in the world, the Piton de la Fournaise, climbed the island summit at 3070 m, the Piton des Neiges, snorkeled with hundred of colorful fishes above the coral reef and, finally chilled in bars along the beaches drinking nice Belgian beers and eating French cheese, bread and wine.
