2nd A350 for Air Mauritius bearing the 50th Anniversary colours - named Pieter Both which is the second highest mountain of Mauritius, at 820 metres (2,690 ft) tall.The mountain is shorter than Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire by eight metres. It is named after Pieter Both, the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is located in the Moka Range - deivered today and headed to Paris CDG then home.
Sugar is one of the main exports of Mauritius about 120,000 tons a year in various forms. The mountain in the backdrop is Pieter Both the second highest mountain of Mauritius, at 820 metres tall. The mountain is shorter that Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire by eight meters. It is named after Pieter Both, the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is located in the Moka Range. The notable feature of this mountain is the gigantic rock formation at the very top of it, which resembles a human head.
Wanted to catch the Milky over an iconic Mauritian landscape. When I scouted this place 3 weeks ago, the canes on the left side were still there and acted as a screen to the road. Damn, they were gone when I arrived. Port Louis, our capital sits behind the mountain range
The mountain of Pieter Both next to the village of Creve Coeur is seen from near a clearing at the base of Deux Mamelles mountain, Moka, Mauritius.
The South Eastern slopes of Le Pouce mountain as seen from the summit.
I remember spending a lot of time here, as there was no longer any rush to find more hikes, given as I was leaving the island the next day.
The mountain range of Pieter Both and the village of St. Pierre seen from the summit of Le Pouce mountain, Moka, Mauritius.
And after a short while, I am on the summit of the eastern peak of Deux Mamelles mountain.
The summit of this peak being a large rock.
This is an awesome view on part of the Moka range featuring Virgin Peak, Pieter Both and Le Pouce. Taken from Canteen Peak on a clear day with almost infinite visibility. Once you reach the summit the pain of the ascension disappears like magic under the unobstructed vista.
As is usually the case, legends abound around those iconic places. Here is one of Pieter Both from Wikipedia.
With only a 15 mins stop, I managed only this short timelapse
Mount Pieter Both, with its characteristic mountaintop. It looks like a boulder somehow got stuck on the peak. That thing is approx. 10 m (33 feet) in diameter, and actually firmly attached to the rock mass. Some people even climb it. This distinguished landscape feature is visible from most parts of northern Mauritius. The Mountain was named after the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is being said that while that boulder is up there, Mauritius is up and well.
Pano from the summit of Deux Mamelles mountain, looking towards the villages of La Laura and Malenga and the mountain of Pieter Both.
A devotional grotto near Ripailles shaped like Pieter Both mountain which can be seen in the background.
View from the summit of Calebasses mountain towards Deux Mamelles mountain, Creve Coeur village and Pieter Both mountain.
Ongoing construction of the new highway linking Ebene to Terre rouge is seen in the region near Nouvelle Decouverte and Long Mountain.
Cross-country driving. Every morning the drive in to the office was about an hour through landscapes like this.
The Moka Range is a mountain range in Mauritius. It contains two of Mauritius's three tallest peaks, Pieter Both and Le Pouce.
The recently built office park in the center of the island. On the right is the famous mountain Pieter Both, with a huge rock balancing at the summit (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieter_Both_(mountain))
