Salazie

Salazie lies in the valley of the Rivière du Mât, within the steep-sided Cirque de Salazie in Réunion’s mountainous interior. Frequent rainfall sustains dense tropical vegetation, waterfalls and cultivated slopes, giving this part of the island a notably green character. The cirque forms part of Réunion’s UNESCO-listed Pitons, Cirques and Ramparts landscape, shaped by volcanic activity and erosion. Nearby Hell-Bourg retains an important Creole architectural heritage, including the 19th-century Maison Folio and its garden. Salazie is also a starting point for routes into the island’s highland terrain. See how Salazie fits into Réunion’s wider landscape by browsing webcams nearby.
