About the activity
Anmen'a Nou offers you a guided van tour of the Cirque of Cilaos in Reunion Island!
You'll visit places that are part of the heritage of the charming village of Cilaos, and landscapes with magnificent panoramas. The Cirque of Cilaos is famous for its thermal baths, and its starting points for famous hikes such as the Piton des Neiges, the highest peak on Reunion Island!
Your guided tour of Reunion Island begins on the Route de Cilaos, also known as the Route des 400 virages. Its name comes from its sinuosity, and its route through the heart of ravine-lined valleys where you can appreciate the magnificent scenery.
On foot, wander through the mountain village of Cilaos and discover its gastronomy and local specialities: wine, spices, fruit... Then head for Mare à Jonc, a pretty high-altitude lake in Cilaos set between mountains and forest. This is the perfect opportunity to take a short stroll, either on foot, by boat or pedalo!
Your guided tour of the Cirque of Cilaos will take you to the Gouffre de l'Etang-Salé, a magnificent spot in the heart of nature. If the sea is rough, you'll admire the ballet of the waves crashing against the cliffs and the chasm!
The Cirque of Cilaos promises to be an unforgettable experience for friends and family alike. Don't hesitate to book your guided tour on Reunion Island for unforgettable adventures!
