After two centuries of a sugar cultivation, the village has now emerged into a new era of sustainable tourism and real estate development whilst still preserving its cultural heritage and traditional values making it almost a rural cosmopolitan town. Still retaining its boundless beauty with forests, rivers, and lakes overlooking its tranquil turquoise lagoon, the area is an ecosystem haven, with coral reefs and seagrass providing feeding grounds for the famous green turtles. Explore this wonderous place by cruises or boat tours and see the marine life first hand. If you are feeling adventurous, then why not take a bike quad tour and connect with nature in the heart of Bel Ombre Nature Reserve and encounter monkeys, bats, wild boars and flocks of pink pigeons. Stop to take a dip in the waterfall before riding through the sugarcane fields between the mountains and the coast.
