Le Pouce

Le Pouce

Le Pouce, the prominent thumb-shaped peak which towers over Port Louis and Moka, is an easy climb and makes a great introduction to walking in Mauritius. To reach the trailhead from Port Louis, follow St George, turn right into St-Denis St and then continue past Ste-Anne chapel.

Trekking
Mauritius is promoted primarily as a beach destination, few people are aware of the attraction of walking, trekking or hiking around the island's interior. Only a handful of travellers choose to incorporate trekking in their holiday. Tour operators may be able to offer some advice or recommend somebody who knows about trekking opportunities on the island. Mauritius Mountains are better suited to hikers and trekkers than to climbers.
Port Louis
At the northwestern end of the island, against a backdrop of mountains, is Port Louis, the island's main city. Port Louis is a flourishing capital that gives the visitor a scintillating introduction into the melting pot of cultures that it is.
