Story
This hike was done in five days (and not two, as mentioned in the duration) and almost entirely in Mafate, except for a brief passage in Salazie. I slept one night on a verandah ('varangue' in creole), one night in a tent, one nigh in a gite and one night in a hotel. The weather was perfect and the scenery spectacular. I never get tired of going to Mafate, probably the best place in La Réunion for hiking and relaxing.
