Plaine champagne to Bel Ombre (south coast )

The trailhead for this walk is the Plaine champagne viewpoint on the Curepipe Chamarel road passing en route a succession of wonderful views through some lovely mixed forest and plantations. The finish meanders along some rather confusing cane field tracks which emerge at the coast road. From Bel Ombre, there are buses to Souillac (change there for Curepipe) and to Tamarin via Baie du Cap. Allow about four hours for this fairly easy walk.
