Saint-Philippe Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Piton de la Fournaise Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Amazing experience. We decided to hiking in the afternoon. Sunset on the top of volcano was amazing.
Three million years ago, the volcanoes on the bottom of the Indian Ocean erupted on a large scale. The powerful energy allowed the area where Reunion was located to rise to the sea and climb to a height of more than 3,000 meters. The island of Reunion was born.
Today, Reunion Island is still an active volcanic island. After entering the 21st century, from 2001 until 2018, there were records of eruptions almost every year. However, the temper of the Reunion volcano is not as violent as the Icelandic volcano or the Indonesian volcano. Although the number of eruptions is high, it can be gentle every time.
Its eruption belongs to the kind of shallow, low-pitched peace and explosion, without earthquakes and volcanic ash, and rarely causes casualties.
Because the eruption of magma flowing from each eruption is fixed from northwest to southeast, it is sticky and slow in flow rate, so it is called sentimental stream magma.
When the hot magma flows down from the height of more than 2,000 meters, the temperature is not as awesome as it was before. Therefore, many locals and tourists will agree to go to the scene to feel the energy of the volcano within a few hours after the eruption.
The people standing on the edge of the magma ditch cheered excitedly and picked up the camera to remember. Some schools will take the opportunity to organize students to observe and study volcanic eruptions and learn geography in the field.
Therefore, the Furles volcano in Reunion became the most suitable volcano for children in the world.
There is a "living" volcano on the French island of Reunion
From the observation deck Pas de Bellecombe, descend to a flat area. Because the clouds are easy to get lost in the year round, there are white painted spots on the surface, followed by trails through the small crater Formica Leo and Lava Chapel La. After Chapelle Rosemont arrives at the foot of the Furnas volcano, it rises from the north and then reaches the crater. It takes about 3-4 hours for a single trip and needs to return. In addition to some strength in the distance, the difficulty of this walk is basically the level of leisure walking, only the beginning and the end have a large drop and climb, the middle of the walking on the cooled magma layer is almost flat. The only thing to note is that because there is no water supply in the middle, you need to carry 6-8 hours of drinking water when you leave. Of course, remember to bring your own garbage.

Dangerous angle (Cap Mchant)

There is a place called Dangerous Corner on the town of St. Philippe on the south coast of Reunion. The cliffs of the volcanic rocks have become extremely steep in the hundreds of thousands of years of surf, and stretched out in the middle of the steep cliff. A very abrupt piece, the section of the rock that stretched out is like a spear, stabbing the center of the Indian Ocean. The reason why
is called the dangerous angle is because the continental shelf on the southern coast is extremely deep, and the cliffs are steep, the sea breeze roars, and it feels like a few steps on the beach, it may be swallowed by the huge waves, falling into the deep In the sea of fear, nothing can be recovered.
But in my opinion, the dangerous angle is very spectacular. You can see the columnar joints of the volcanic rocks. Imagine the lava that the Furles volcano roared at the time and gradually turned into a present when it was cooled by the sea.
The current dangerous angle is not dangerous at all, even an extremely rare volcanic geological park. If there is such a landscape in the country, it has long been circled to sell you more than 200 tickets, but in Reunion, all this They are all open and free, and it is very suitable for taking children to observe and learn.
Hazard angle
There is a place called Dangerous Corner in St. Philip of Reunion, a foreign land in France. The edge of the dense forest is a very steep hillside, and this prominent rock wall with a right angle of 90 degrees is a dangerous corner. The section of the rock that stretched out was like a spear that stabbed the center of the Indian Ocean. The reason why it is called the dangerous angle is because Reunion itself is a volcanic island. The Furnas volcano erupts all the year round, and the place where volcanic magma is most often "visited" is the sea here, which leads to the place here. The continental shelf is extremely deep. As long as you take a few steps to the sea, you are likely to be swallowed up by the deep sea water. The sea on the Indian Ocean is dark blue, less gentle and more mysterious. The section of the rock that stretched out is steep and very imposing. It is stronger and stronger than any dam, like a piece of steel guarding this beautiful volcanic island. Visitors generally only go halfway. On the one hand, it is very difficult to continue on the road. On the other hand, this wind is particularly large. Once it is overturned by the wind, it will fall into the deep blue sea. The waves under the cliffs are rolling, the stone walls seem to be swallowing huge waves, and the sea is like a burning blue flame, which is extremely shocking.
