Réunion Island is an overseas territory of France. Volcanic in origin, the terrain is forested and rugged. Volcano Piton de la Fournaise, the most famous volcano on the island, also ranks as one of the most active in the world. Piton des Neiges is the highest peak on land rising an impressive 3069m above sea level. Le Maïdo offers one of the best viewpoints on the island, including views of the Cirque de Mafate. The mountainous terrain makes the area excellent for mountain biking and canyoning, though the beach scene on the other hand is underdeveloped.
