A fleck of an island but a reservoir of undiscovered beauty, Reunion is a paradisiacal French foreign territory in the Indian Ocean. One naturally expects pristine beaches, emerald forests, stunning corals and marine life from an Indian Ocean escapade, but Reunion Island surprises by also adding an active volcano - Piton de la Fournaise, Indian Ocean’s highest peak - Piton des Neiges as well as the largest French city outside France -Saint-Denis to the mix.
The sun, sand and surf is in store for the visitors as are excellent opportunities for outdoor adventure including paragliding, canyoning, mountain biking, rafting and horse riding. French-colonial architecture and splendid little villages including Hell-Bourg, often included in "the most beautiful villages of France", are to be spotted across the island. Need another reason to add this astonishing island to your wish list? Consider this – Reunion Island is covered in large craters that have entire villages existing inside them. Prepare yourself to be mind-blown as you notice the temperature dropping and landscape changing into lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls inside these craters.
