Port-Louis & Pamplemousses

About this activity

Step back in time we will be taken to the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden which dates back to 1768 and considered the most ancient of the southern hemisphere.

Inside the garden we will be captivated by countless perfumes such as camphor, sandalwood, nutmeg, ginger and many others. Walking through over 500 species of exotic plants such as the Lotus, Water Lily, palms and others, we will admire the picturesque Chateau Mon Plaisir, colonial residence of the governor De La Bourdonnais and the white wrought iron gate awarded in two international exhibitions in London and Paris.

Afterwards, on the heights of Port Louis we will visit the fort Adelaide, built by the British in 1835 which offers a picturesque view from the Moka mountains range to the harbor.

After our trip in the eighteenth century we can’t miss a visit to the typical Bazaar between spices and souvenirs and up to the famous brands of Caudan Waterfront shopping mall.
