What will you find out during this visit?

It was declared as a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 6 July 2008. The site makes 555 meters height and is a sanctuary of the runaway slaves who would have committed suicide by jumping off the cliff of the mountain thinking that they can swim and reached Africa.

Le Morne Brabant is one of the most preserved and wildest mountain of the island. It is habitat to a very large variety of endemic species, such as the rare Trochetia Boutonania, which is our floral emblem. The hike to the summit of Le Morne Brabant lasts between three to four hours, depending on the pace and homogeneity of the group. Once on top, we discover the breath-taking views towards the West and the South – West lagoons and part of the island.
