La Réunion’s east side is a world of mist, moss, and green — and this 3-day itinerary is your path through it. Designed for travelers who crave shady trails, thundering waterfalls, fern-lined rivers, and the calm that only rainforest walking brings, this route takes you into the island’s most atmospheric natural spaces: the wide basin of Grand Étang, the riverside cliffs of Bassin la Paix, and the forest-covered ridges of Takamaka.
These are not summit hikes or adrenaline trails. They’re about texture, air, light, and birdsong. You'll walk along cliffside paths, through tunnels of bamboo, and under trees heavy with vines. Each day includes accessible routes, safe trail advice, and tips for capturing the essence of Réunion's eastern wilds — whether with a camera, a journal, or your full attention.
Includes full-day routes, add-on suggestions, rest stops, food and lodging recommendations, and weather planning advice.
