It is the heart of Praslin and is home to a remnant of the original palm forests of the Seychelles. He is described as "Garden of Eden" because of his lonely and mystical appearance.
It was only in 1966 that the valley was protected by the Seychelles Government. It is unique and contains more than 1400 copies of the legendary Coco de Mer
It is a fantastic park!
In the original jungle area, which has been untouched for millions of years, you can follow the traces of prehistoric times and find all six endemic palm species. The Coco de Mer, the largest nut in the world, is particularly admired by visitors, and the National Park has earned its protection as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which in 1983 recognized the Vallée de Mai as "an outstanding example of a characteristic Seychelles palm forest".
