Viewpoint on Mafate mountain seen from Le Maïdo - Reunion Island


Heart of a dilapidated volcano, the cirque of Mafate appears as a world apart. It is a geological setting drawn by steep ramparts that a bird's eye view from some surrounding ridges (Maïdo, Roche Ecrite, Cap Noir ...) suggests that it is inaccessible. Only walking allows you to reach it by small mountain paths or by helicopter. Its savage character has made it the refuge of escaped slaves. The toponymy of the circus is there to recall the history of the place.
