Hiking in Réunion
Hiking is the very best of what Réunion has to offer. Formed from one mighty
dead volcano (Piton des Neiges) and one active volcano (Piton de la Fournaise),
the island is a paradise for hikers, adventure-sports enthusiasts or indeed anyone
who is receptive to the untamed beauty of a wilderness environment.
