REUNION ISLAND
Reunion island is situated in the Southern Indian Ocean at 20°52' South and 55°28' East approx. 750km East of Madagascar and 200km West of Mauritius. It is about 70km long and 50km wide. It mainly consists of the 3069m volcano "Piton des Neiges" and the active volcano "Piton de la Fournaise" which is 2631m high. The island is mainly forests, steep rocks, waterfalls and only a few sandy beaches.
The island was discovered by the Europeans in 1505 but the old Arabs knew it also. It became French in 1638 and was called Ile Bourbon during Napoleon times, later it was called Ile Bonaparte.
Reunion produces sugar, fruits, vanilla, tobacco and meat but also a famous vine from the Cilaos valley. Tourism is growing steadily though the island is not perfect for beach holidays but diving, fishing or extreme trekking are offered there as well. The local cuisine is remarkable, a mix of French, Indian and Creolian influences.
