Curepipe

The highest of the plateau towns, Curepipe also holds the distinction of having the highest rainfall on the island. Consider yourself forewarned, rain is part of the scenery in these parts.

This said, most people come to Curepipe to shop. The best shopping is in the suburbs of Floreal and Forest Side, rather than the touristy Le Sablonniere complex located in Pope Hennessy Street.

Curepipe is also home to the Trou aux Cerfs, perhaps its best-known local attraction. This ancient volcanic crater is now filled with silt, water, and thick vegetation, and is only a short walk from the centre of town.
