Reunion Island, a territory of France, is a small island surrounded by the Indian Ocean. Its mainly French-speaking residents are a mix of African, Indian, Chinese, French and Malay ethnicities, creating a unique combination of cultures.
Those taking a trekking vacation will appreciate Reunion Island's rugged land and beautiful, dramatic mountains. The island offers jagged mountain peaks, steep cliffs, an active volcano and waterfalls.
Travelers wanting a more relaxing vacation can admire the lovely gardens, Creole houses and richly scented spice farms. Reunion is a magnificent place to de-stress.
Reunion's one problem is found at the coast—its tiny lagoons are quite shallow, and there's not much protection against the rough surf.
