    Hiking

    The Bassin Bleu is unfortunately no longer available with the last landslide. Instead, the water splashes over a large stone slab. Still a nice place for a rest.

    Hiking

    Well, you absolutely do not have to see it. If you look at the algae formation in the basins below it is probably not such a good idea to refresh.

    Hiking

    A small waterfall just 1 hour from Cilaos. Nice place to cool off, but also not really necessary to visit.
