Réunion : Go with a local agency

A dazzling natureIf the fine sand of the beaches of the west and their magnificent seabed make it an ideal seaside destination, " ? the intense island ?" cannot content itself with this simple tropical frame. In the secret of its land, the Reunion reveals itself in all Its Splendour: with its rugged mountains, the highest of the Indian Ocean, its primary forests with an exceptional endemic fauna and flora, its pebble rivers, its deep ravines, its lunar plains...The paradise of hikingThe Meeting is savour on foot. It is in crapahutant that one goes back the time, that one rubs to traditions and that one discovers a art of living in constant relationship with nature.Criss-crossed with more or less long trails, the entire island is a magnificent playground for Sunday walkers like professional trekkeurs. Over 1 000 km of trails maintained by the NFB stretch under your feet: it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.A guide commissioned by a local agency will make you discover the Island of Réunion in its smallest corners.A mixed peopleMore mixed than mixed, both Creole, secular and religious, the population is not subject to the domination of any ethnic, whether numerically, culturally or politically. Far from being uprooted, the Réunion cajolent their common identity while remaining faithful to the traditions of each community.By adding the price of the ticket and the costs of the stay on the spot (about the prices of the French Riviera in summer), the Reunion appears to be a relatively expensive destination. It is, however, a very expensive matter. The standard of living is substantially the same as in metropolitan areas but, for many products, the sea grant must be added: anything that is not manufactured on the island but imported from metropolitan areas is taxed. Even if the rates of tourist providers (hotels, rentals...) are honest, the numerous shelters and guest rooms that account for the island represent a good solution for modest budgets. A "? backpack sac" stay is even perfectly possible (such as the survol of the island by helicopter, canyoning, paragliding or other,). To take an order of idea, comparison with sister island is essential ?: the standard of living of Mauritius is certainly lower, but the prices of the hotels are also much higher. Of course, by travelling the same distance by plane you can go elsewhere and spend much less: Madagascar, the Comoros, Africa is much cheaper. But compare the comparable, the African standard of living, health and safety, being unrelated to that of the DOM-TOM ?: It pays off from the other end of the world while remaining in his country, with all the comforts that this implies ?!Indicative prices:Maximum selling price per litre of gasoline ?

Spoken languages

But no worries, everyone mastery the official language, French!You will therefore have no trouble making you understand, and you will probably integrate a few words and expressions very quickly.

Currency

You don't have to worry about buying currency before you leave.
