The Maconde View Point presents a breathtaking coastal panorama situated between Le Morne and Baie du Cap. The area is celebrated for its breathtaking natural landscapes and rugged, wild shorelines. The striking red earth, verdant woodlands, gently swaying palm trees, and breathtaking azure sea will make your visit to Maconde an experience to remember. The stunning vistas of the Indian Ocean from the summit of a small rocky cliff along a meandering coastal road are truly captivating. Capturing a solo photograph at this viewpoint can prove challenging, as it tends to attract a significant number of visitors seeking both the scenic view and the perfect shot. The term “Maconde” is believed to have its roots in the period of slavery, when fleeing slaves from the Makonde tribe in Mozambique sought sanctuary. It has been suggested that the name originates from Governor Jean Baptiste Henri Conde, who was responsible for the creation of an impressive cliff overlook.

The sacred lake also called Ganga Talao represents the mighty Ganges river of India. You'll find her tucked away in the mountains of the South West surrounded by colourful Hindu temples and gods. The statue is 33m (108 ft) high and is the highest known statue in Mauritius. It was completed in 2007 and the "Sthapan" (the ritual) was done during the 2008 Maha Shivratri festival.
