シラオスの天然記念物・トップ20

素晴らしい場所と緑豊かな植生

From the sea, it's a little over an hour's drive with lots of twists and turns, but it's doable. Start early so you can arrive before noon if possible. It's impressive to see the car-free village of La Nouvelle on the other side (in the middle), which we hiked to from the other side of the valley and from there we looked here and at the bare rock face to the right. The view is impressive overall, but also fascinating when the clouds rise up over the rock face at midday, but then you no longer have a view 😉

If you stand below the large boulders, the path goes up to the left, so that you can reach the entrance of the cave via a short climb.

Just a great view. For us the clouds flowed into the valley around 12 p.m. Fascinating

The official and well-marked hiking trail ends in the riverbed about 300m before La Chapelle. From there you have to explore the path through the stones and rocks on your own. You cross the river at least 4 times. Don't forget your bathing suit, in order to "go" deeper into the chapel you have to swim.

La Chapelle is one of the geological curiosities of the Cirque de Cilaos. Its natural shape resembles a cathedral made up of huge rocks that meet under which flows a waterfall creating a basin.

Before reaching the bed of the river that leads to the Chapel, savor this magnificent view of the enormous rocky cavity.

Absolutely unique experience! I have never seen a more beautiful starry sky. In the morning we could see the whole island from above, an incredible feeling!
