Bras d'Eau National Park, located in the northeastern part of Mauritius, is a haven for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Covering approximately 497 hectares, the park is named after the "Bras d'Eau" or "Arm of Water" that characterizes the area. It features a diverse range of habitats, including coastal forests, wetlands, and remnants of ancient volcanic activity. Visitors can explore well-marked trails that meander through lush vegetation, offering opportunities to spot endemic bird species such as the Mauritius Paradise Flycatcher and the Mauritius Bulbul. The park also houses ruins from the island's colonial past, including an old sugar mill and a lime kiln, providing a glimpse into Mauritius's rich cultural heritage.
