Mauritius

Mauritius stretches from the coral reefs of its northern coast to the Black River Gorges in the southwest, encompassing volcanic uplands, sugar-cane fields and a lagoon-fringed shoreline. The Indian Ocean island is shaped by African, Indian, European and Chinese influences, heard in Mauritian Creole and reflected in its food and religious traditions. In Port Louis, the Aapravasi Ghat commemorates the arrival of indentured labourers after the abolition of slavery and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Le Morne Brabant, another UNESCO-listed place, stands on the southwest coast as a powerful symbol of resistance to slavery.
