Mauritius is a unique blend of cultures. This is the place where Europe meets India; Africa meets China. Its diverse heritage is reflected in the festivals, folklore and cuisine of the inhabitants. Mauritian dishes are a delicious fusion of flavours inspired from western colonists, local African ingredients and the aromas and tastes brought by the Chinese and Indian migrants. The Mauritian Sega is a ritualistic dance that celebrates the musical expression of joy and liveliness embraced by slaves during the colonist area, now adopted as the national dance. On the island, a number of beautiful Creole houses can be found beside Chinese pagodas, Indian temples or mosques. All of this on top of a tropical island filled with beautiful botanical gardens known for their indigenous and exotic plants, cascading waterfalls and beautiful beaches.
