| The heart of Mauritius is revealed only to those who take the trouble to walk carefully through its arteries. Beyond the most spectacular sites are genuine treasure pieces, which can only appear to those who possess the spirit of adventure. Apart from the many beach resorts with their sandy white beaches and blue lagoon, the island abounds with places of interest to amaze and entrance the visitors. There are also a number of museums, fortifications, churches, galleries, colonial houses that are opened to the public. These places are a heritage of our rich colonial culture and history. Moreover, religious festivals, especially Indian festivals are very colourful. This is a good way to experience Eastern culture without stepping out of Mauritius. |
