"Mauritius is a destination known for its exoticism, associated with honeymoon trips and the luxury of fine sandy beaches and the exuberant vegetation of the Indian Ocean. All of that is true, but Mauritius, a small island country in the southeastern tip of Africa, is so much more. This archipelago of volcanic origin is made up of Mauritius itself and Rodrigues, together with some smaller islands that are spread over a large marine area in the southwest of the Indian Ocean.
The vegetation is exuberant; the abrupt relief due to its volcanic geology; the coast, full of beaches and geographical accidents; the dream tropical climate with stable temperatures that make it possible to visit it practically throughout the year. All this has made Mauritius one of the most sophisticated and exclusive destinations in the world. Together with the Bermuda Islands, the Maldives and the Seychelles, it shares an aura of luxury and quality that, without a doubt, is fulfilled and is true. However, from El Giróscopo Viajero, the network of travel guides to which this new guide TurismoislaMauricio.es belongs, what we want is to show another lesser-known facet of the Republic of Mauritius.
Mauritius is a very stable and prosperous country, one of the richest countries and with the highest quality of life in Africa. Its economy and living standards are very similar to those of Europe. But, above all, in addition to being a destination for honeymooners and those seeking exclusivity and luxury, Mauritius is a destination for nature, active tourism, culture and traditions, music, sports, gastronomy and well-being. All on a small island that combines influences from Africa, the Middle East, India, China and Europe. In addition, Mauritius is a perfect destination to go on vacation at any time of the year. A little history"

In the book we can read: "Thanks to an enlightened policy of ecotourism and preservation, this tiny, pear-shaped, volcanic speck of an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean remains unspoiled and intriguing. Independent since 1968, Mauritius is a 28-mile-wide microcosm of cultural diversity, an exotic mosaic of Indian, African, British, Continental, and Chinese influences. It’s a long way from anywhere, but people flock here, including European sun seekers, honeymooners, and those who unwind après safari at the island’s exquisite resort hotels."
