CYCLING: Daruty Forest
Listening to Leon Bolier - Shimamoto
If you are into mountain biking or road biking, well guess what, Mauritius is the place to be. I starting mountain biking a couple of years ago, and I can tell you that I myself wasn't aware Mauritius had such amazing places for mountain biking. Of course there are sugarcane fields all over the island which makes it fun, but the best part is there are several endemic forests which are the best places around.
My favorite place for mountain biking regularly is Daruty Forest. Located in the north of the island, it's one of the most unique forests of its kind. The forest is divided in two parts. one side starts from Grand Baie motorway and the second one from Vale to Petit Raffrey. The tracks are part rocky terrain, flat surfaces, couple of hilly sections and of course off-road tracks as you would expect.
I would definitely recommend anyone into mountain biking to give it a go as the sensation is unique on its own.
