However, at the beginning of the 19th century, half a million Indians disembarked in Port Louis. Hired to work in this country, the Hindu culture began to expand even in its traditions and deities.
The reason? It is the perfect island to enjoy a luxury vacation in command of its treasures, such as its blue waterfalls and remarkable palm trees. So it’s time to know a five-day route to live a complete, sublime, and unique journey away from home.
