Cilaos
The hard-to-reach village: The high mountain refuge
Discover Cilaos village - Reunion island - with you local guide for 1 day trip.
With your local driver-guide,
The adventure to Cilaos begins from the very first kilometers of the climb! The famous 400-bend road is a landmark in itself: spectacular, narrow, and carved directly into the cliff face. Relax and enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of a spacious 9-seater vehicle while I take care of the driving. Upon arrival, nestled at the foot of the majestic Piton des Neiges, this sun-drenched cirque will reveal its treasures: high-altitude vineyards, renowned lentils, and historic thermal baths, all within the atmosphere of a charming mountain village. Ready to brave the legendary road to discover this perched gem? Join me for an unforgettable day.
