D2

Waterfalls and Cirques

The Langevin Waterfall is more impressive after rain, but plan your visit for early in the day to enjoy the pools and avoid the heat.

For the Cirque de Mafate, a quick exploration can be done via the Crête des Salazes viewpoint, but a true visit requires more time. If time is limited, prioritize another site.

The Cirque de Salazie, especially the village of Hell-Bourg, is worth a good half-day. Arrive early to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before the tourist influx.
