As you advance, you will find yourself in the dry and rough terrain of the mountain, which can be quite challenging. The heat will elevate and thus it is recommended to take a sun hat or cap and water with you. It is also important that you are well-equipped with sunscreen and good trekking shoes due to the uneven tracks. As you progress, you will find a gigantic, basalt rock peak dotted with caves which once harbored runaway slaves.

About Trou d'Eau Douce
Trou d'Eau Douce is a fishing village on Mauritius's east coast, the usual departure point for boats to Île aux Cerfs and its lagoon.
Trou d'Eau Douce is a small fishing village on the east coast of Mauritius, facing a wide lagoon sheltered by a coral reef. Fishing boats and launches sit along the shore, and a short strip of restaurants and shops looks onto the water. Sugar cane fields stretch inland. The east coast catches the trade winds, so the air is breezier and often cooler than on the west coast.
