On the east coast, the Bras d'Eau National Park is a delight to explore. The Coq de Bois trail ventures into the humid zone, home to migrating birds and lush vegetation. Refresh yourself on Bras d'Eau beach and visit a Hindu temple at Poste de Flacq, amid sugar cane plantations extending as far as the eye can see. As the day draws to a close, you will see Indian women attired in saris on their way home to their domestic chores. The quintessence of the island of Mauritius!
