Departing from Pierrefonds airport, 15 minutes from the town of Saint Pierre in the south of the island, you will begin this trip by flying over the 3 cirques. The circuses of Salazie, Mafate and Clilos, all part of the world heritage of humanity, are valleys dug over time by the erosion of water and wind. Each one has its own history and characteristics. The Cirque de Salazie is the greenest. The frequency of its torrential rains has created breathtaking islets and magnificent waterfalls over time.

Imagine the speed and sound of the water far below! Take the opportunity to also overlook the Bride's Veil, a mysterious waterfall that takes its name from a legend telling the tragic story of a bride who slipped from the top of the mountain after fleeing with her husband, his father who wanted to kill him.

Before ending this excursion, you will approach the famous Piton de la Fournaise. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Its last eruption dates back to 2019.
