Mauritius Heritage
Mauritius offers a unique opportunity to go back in time and discover the secrets of its territory from its very early days. You will have fun while unveiling all the secrets of Mauritius through an interactive and informative journey in the past. Walk in the footsteps of Mauritius’ first settlers and find the answers to predominant questions such as:
- How was the island discovered?

Two UNESCO world heritage sites – Aapravasi Ghat and Le Morne – are well worth visiting as is the Vieux Grand Port historical route which houses several historical monuments including the Dutch landing site.
