Renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant tropical landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, Mauritius is a dazzling island paradise in the Indian Ocean. The entire island maps in at 720 square miles, and — fun fact — it even has its very own time zone. The island is also home to some very rare wildlife, some of which you will only find on the island (pink pigeons, the red-headed bird Mauritius fody, and the elusive shrub trochetia boutoniana, to name a few).Traveling to Mauritius offers the perfect chance to immerse yourself in its breathtaking natural beauty, savor mouthwatering cuisine, and explore its captivating history.
