The town of Hell-Bourg emerges like a hamlet in a fairy tale after 9km of tight bends
from Salazie. You can't but be dazzled by the fabulous backdrop - the majestic mountain
walls that encase Hell-Bourg like a grandiose amphitheatre. No prize for guessing that this
rugged terrain offers some fantastic hiking opportunities. It offers plenty of more sedent-
ary opportunities as well.
Culture aficionados will get their fill in this quintessential Réunionnais town with its
enchanting centre, where old Creole mansions line the streets.
Hell-Bourg takes its curious name from the former governor Amiral de Hell; the town
itself is anything but! It served as a thermal resort until a landslide blocked the spring in
1948.
