Trou aux Cerfs

Mauritius is an island formed by volcanic eruptions. The Ludong crater in the central plateau is located on a dormant volcano. The crater is cone-shaped. It is a representative scenic spot in Mauritius, and it is also the origin of Mauritius. The volcano on the sea is this one. The environment on the mountain is due to the dormant state of the volcano. Today, the crater is full of houses and overgrown with plants. Plants like a green carpet make the quiet volcano come alive. Going to the scenic crater along the way is about 600 meters above sea level. If you want to see the face of the crater, you can charter a car. Along the way, the car will follow the undulating road, enter a quiet and rich residential area, and then drive up a steep slope. , stop in the parking lot, and then need to hike a steep road to the top of the crater. Mountaineering Landscape There will be pavilions, benches and well-tended lawns along the roadside during the climb, all of which are used by tourists to rest and have a picnic here. If you are climbing in the afternoon, you can also enjoy a wonderful romantic sunset time. After climbing the steep mountain road to the top, you can enjoy the scenery around the volcano. The surrounding rolling mountains and green grasslands are full of beauty. There are railings at the top of the mountain top view, you can hold the railings with your hands, and you can clearly see that the crater is well preserved. The crater has been clogged with years of rain and silt. During the rainy season, a small pool forms at the bottom of the crater, and when the weather is sunny, the crater dries up. It can be seen that there are dense thorny shrubs and forests growing on the four walls of the crater, and the rich vegetation makes the extinct volcano appear green with life. If it is not for the introduction of the guide, you may not really see that this is the volcano that once erupted violently. There used to be deer here, so it was called "Deer Cave", but now there are so many tourists that the deer are scared away. Standing on a high point viewing the crater, you can take pictures and look at the surrounding beauty. After that, you can walk down from the heights, and there is a path around the crater to the right. Walking on the path overlooks the central plains of Mauritius. Walking on the path, there are hawkers buying local souvenirs on the side of the road. You can enjoy the local souvenirs in the hands of the hawkers while watching the scenery. Turning to the other side of the crater along the path, it is still that silent and speechless. The place where lava spewed and roared in ancient times is now covered in lush vegetation. The crater also has an inward natural vertical water curtain, and the silver-white waterfall hangs in the green crater, which is very poetic. There are also some beautiful houses and gardens around the crater to visit. After the visit, you can also go to the town to experience the way of life of the local residents and appreciate their folk culture.
