Description of this Vintage Reunion Poster
Mafate is one of three natural cirques on the island of Reunion, a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean. This cirque, along with Cilaos and Salazie, is one of the most emblematic geographical features of the island. Here is a more detailed description of Mafate:
- 1. An Isolated Circus: Mafate is unique in its kind. It is a mountainous area totally isolated from the rest of the island, accessible only on foot, by helicopter or by hiking trails. This inaccessibility has preserved its authentic character and natural beauty.
- 2. Breathtaking Landscapes: Mafate offers grandiose landscapes, with rugged mountains, spectacular cliffs and deep valleys. Its trails wind through lush forests, verdant meadows, and fields of wildflowers, creating a nature lover's paradise.
- 3. Picturesque Villages: In the heart of Mafate, you will find picturesque villages nestled at the bottom of the valley. These villages, such as La Nouvelle, Marla and Grand-Place, are inhabited by a community of residents called the "Mafatais" who have lived in harmony with nature for generations.
- 4. A Refuge For Hikers: Mafate is a favorite place for hikers and trekking enthusiasts. Numerous marked trails allow you to explore the cirque, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The GR R1, a long-distance hiking trail, crosses Mafate and allows you to discover its natural wonders.
- 5. Unique Biodiversity: Mafate is home to remarkable biodiversity, with species endemic to Reunion Island. You will be able to observe a variety of birds, plants and flowers that thrive in this preserved environment.
- 6. A Natural Sanctuary: Due to its natural beauty and fragility, Mafate was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, which guarantees its protection and preservation for future generations.
Mafate is a place of wild and unspoilt beauty, where nature reigns supreme and tranquility reigns. For travelers looking for adventure, solitude and contemplation of majestic landscapes, Mafate offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature. A visit to Mafate is a total immersion in the natural beauty of Reunion, an island that never ceases to amaze with its geographical diversity and unique character.
