The Le Morne Brabant hike in southwestern Mauritius is the most iconic and beautiful hike in the small island nation. In this post we will go over the hike in depth and prepare you for one of the most strenuous and steep hikes you will ever do on a tropical island.
Le Morne is the name of the giant mountain that sticks out of the earth at the very southwestern tip of Mauritius. It’s the most stunning mountain on the island and when you image search “Mauritius” it’s what comes up 90 percent of the time. The peak of the mountain is only 1824 feet above sea level (556m), but don’t be fooled. This mountain is a beast.
