Pamplemousses Gardens
Overview
Officially the oldest botanical garden in the southern hemisphere, walk your way through the diverse flora and fauna with your knowledgeable guide who will explain how nutmeg and cloves made their way into Mauritian cuisine.
The history of these world-famous gardens is as impressive as the 500 different species of plants in the garden. Marvel at the giant Victoria Regina water lilies as you go along.
On this visit, you have the option to stop at a nearby former sugar mill turned museum and then go on to meet a local family to prepare some Creole lunch together with you. The chef would divulge some of the best-kept culinary secrets before settling with the family for sharing your creations. They may have some interesting tales to share with you too.
