Previously referred to as Bourbon Island, Reunion is located in the South West part of the Indian Ocean. With abrupt ground marked through erosion, the vivid island culminates at 3,071 meters above sea level at the summit of Piton des Neiges and is likewise home to one of the most active volcanoes in the world, the Piton de la Fournaise. Between land and sea, the French overseas department dazzles! 

From East to West, adventurers may experience hiking, paragliding, canyoning, swimming and biking at the heart of a splendid cirque of mountains. In the distance, one may clearly witness the respective colors of each corner of the island; the wildlife intense green, the waterfall emerald blue and the desert ocher shades. 

From North to South, follow the aisles of authentic beach houses and creole style huts, places of worship and atypical markets, charming colonial villages and sumptuous seaside resorts. If the main cities like Saint-Denis were built on the model of French towns, the genuineness of coastal villages abounds. Before the heat is in full swing and the sand is too hot, enjoy a swim at Grande-Anse or Boucan Canot’s beach. On a frantic rhythm of Maloya under the coconut palms’ shades, let yourself be tempted by the inevitable local fruit punch made with white rum, before savoring on the go a luscious “boucané”. Take your time to taste other specialties such as the curry, a typical dish made of meat or fish cooked in sauce and accompanied by white rice or "grains"; red pepper tomatoes; vanilla duck and fried banana donuts.

Like a tropical rainbow, Reunion Island’s population comes from a rich blend of Indian rituals and European style culture, creating a special atmosphere. Both at home (kaz) and at work (bitassion), you may hear locals proudly speaking a sweet Creole formed with some French lexical basis. Preserving a unique contrasting charm, the Mascarene island is an appeal to travelers in search of discovery and adventure.
