Five things you didn't know about Mauritius - Interesting facts

Will you believe that Mauritius is more than 3000 times smaller than Australia? Regardless of its size, its population exceeds one million, and has hundreds of places to discover. For those who love to get closer to Mother Nature, this paradise destination has the Seven-Coloured Earth and Black River Gorges National Park. And for those who love everything about beaches, Mauritius has Flic-en-Flac. Yes, this is way too much for a small destination and that's so amazing! 

Have you been to a property such as The Residence Mauritius located in this destination? They offer world-class hospitality services together with great buffets and cocktails while also facilitating many fun activities for the little ones. 

Mauritius gained its independence over 50 years ago. Until then, it was ruled by several rulers and communities, so their influences can clearly be seen in its main culture even today. The major influence has been from the French, but you actually see a touch of British (English) culture also here. People speak French, English, and one of their own languages called 'Mauritian Creole' and this fusion is truly amazing. 

Thanks to star-rated hotels and resorts located in Mauritius, it's a destination with all luxuries for travelers from all around the world. The agriculture, textile, and sugar cane industries are also there in Mauritius, and exploring how things happen has become one of the best things to do in Mauritius by travelers. 

One of the best things about Mauritius is that it has many microclimates (over 25- surprisingly). Regardless of its size, going from one region to region in this country lets you enjoy different kinds of temperatures, and even if you schedule your tour during the summer, rains can show up from time to time- all thanks to this oddness of climates. 

Did you know that Dodo Bird (late) is a National symbol in Mauritius? Dodo was considered a massive bird that was beautiful at the same time, and they were in abundance when the Arabs came to this destination first. However, those communities hunted Dodo birds for their meat and that marked the beginning of the extinction of these birds. 

Yes, Mauritius is a great country for explorers not just because of its attractions, but also because of its people. If you visit a local village when you are in Mauritius, the locals will offer you not just their gentle smiles, but also their local food and Rhum (sugar cane). Since they are good at English, there won't be communication barriers as well.
