Mauritius, 20° south of the equator is an idyllic sub tropical island in the Indian Ocean with coral beaches and warm turquoise waters protected by a series of coral reefs surrounding most of the island to form shallow lagoons. Situated at the trading crossroads the island was visited by Arab and Chinese traders to be followed by the Portuguese, Dutch, and French and eventually occupied by the British prior to gaining independence in 1968. The volcanic origins is evident in its landscape of craggy mountain peaks and extinct craters towering over ancient palm trees.
