We did an hour tour with helicopter to view all these colouful and breathtaking beauties from above:
- la Plaine des Palmistes (an area covered with furn bushes and trees)
- la Plaine des Sables, the way leading to the volcano Piton de la Fournaise
- the carter of the active volcano
- le Cirque de Mafate
- Ananas-fields (the brown parts) above St-Pierre
- the waterfall of Takamaka, accessible only by one day foot walk;
Simply fantastic way to discover a lot of not reachable by foot or car corners!
A helicopter tour, that must be very special. I would like to do that once. We will see.

You must have been hanging out the door of the copter, brave woman! That waterfall! (Will you try to hike there?) I love the winding road shot.
ReplyDeleteahhh, very beautiful sceneries, and the last one of the watefall seem to be out of this world, happy weekend.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot!
ReplyDelete@Barb: I was lucky to be sitting on the front row (next to the window and could open a little part of it);
@Filip: great way to see things from above! you should try once (when there is stg worth watching:-);

ReplyDeleteOur world is something wonderful, no matter whether from the air or under water...
ReplyDeleteis it ok weatherwise to go to Reunion in January/February? I'm thinking of doing some trekking there early 2014.
ReplyDelete@anonymous/weather-question: January/Feb is nice as its the dry season, however thisisalso the cyclone season...for hiking its nice, although pretty humid even at altitude;
