It is a representative scenic spot in Mauritius, and it is also the origin of Mauritius. The volcano on the sea is this one. The environment on the mountain is due to the dormant state of the volcano. Today, the crater is full of houses and overgrown with plants. Plants like a green carpet make the quiet volcano come alive. Going to the scenic crater along the way is about 600 meters above sea level. If you want to see the face of the crater, you can charter a car.
