Description

As Gondwana drifted apart, the Indian subcontinent left behind a pearled string of islands and islets as it moved north. The iconic granite boulders scattered across the islands were shaped by wind and water over 200 million years and have been waiting to be climbed ever since. Bouldering, swimming, snorkeling and hiking… an ideal recreation for active vacationers, framed in a tropical panorama in the island paradise.

The Seychelles have built a paradise in which joy of life, modest prosperity and ecological thinking are not contradictory. With evergreen nature and high air and water temperatures all year round, there is unique flora and fauna to discover around the islands. Although you can't get enough of the green tones of the forests, you are also drawn to the snow-white beaches to marvel at the even more colorful corals and their inhabitants. Millions of years of isolation have allowed an explosion in the evolution of endemic species. The tortoises, which weigh over 200 kg, and the largest nut in the world (Coco de Mer) are just two examples of this. In addition, the Seychelles are a particular attraction for boulderers. The island of La Digue in particular is lined with granite blocks of the most bizarre shapes due to erosion. The rocks are scattered all over the island and are waiting to be visited. Another peculiarity of this paradise is the peaceful Seychelles. There is no crime to speak of and not even Mother Nature has colonized tropical diseases in the region.
