The landscapes of Mauritius are intimately tied to the sea, the sugar cane fields and the mountains. With Rivière Noire peak as the highest point of the island (2,716 ft) in the south, the island has a very varied relief with crenellated summits (peak of Trois Mamelles), gorges (Rivière Noire meanders), as well as many woody hills. The interior of the island deserves to be explored for its natural riches.
