Mount Limon, Rodrigues’ highest point.

EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

You stand at the centre of the world, or so it feels from the peak of Mount Limon. At the island’s highest point, the entire circumference of the Rodrigues lagoon reveals itself in shifting bands of turquoise and jade. The air here is cooler, carrying the scent of wild grasses and salt. Your guide, a resident who knows these slopes by heart, leads you through the lush interior before descending toward the coast. At Riviere Banane, the pace slows further. You sit down to a slow lunch of ourite (octopus) or honey-glazed pork, prepared by a local family using ingredients from their own valley gardens. The afternoon settles with a snorkel in the marine reserve, where the water is still and the coral life remains undisturbed. It is a journey that maps the island’s geography, connecting the height of the land to the depth of the sea.
