Crater lake Curepipe Town, Plaine Wilhems, Mauritius

What to expect

Trou aux Cerfs, also known as Murr's Volcano, is a dormant volcano with a well-defined cone and crater. It is 605 meters high and located in Curepipe, Mauritius. The crater has a diameter of 300-350 meters and is 80-100 meters deep. The volcano is currently dormant but could become active at any time within the next thousand years. It last erupted 700,000 years ago. The crater is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a magnificent view of the island from the top. Visitors can hike along the rim and into the crater, and enjoy the scenic landscapes and majestic views of the Rempart Mountain, Trois Mamelles, and the Port-Louis-Moka mountain range. The area is also a popular jogging spot for locals and has a radar station that keeps an electronic eye on cyclonic activities
