Le Morne Brabant: A World Heritage Site

Le Morne Brabant, located in the southwest of Mauritius, is a massive basaltic mountain standing 556 meters tall 🌊🗻. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, making it a breathtakingly beautiful spot to visit ✨. Historically, Le Morne Brabant served as a refuge for escaped slaves who fled from the mainland to live in secrecy on this island 🏝️. In 1835, when the abolition of slavery in Mauritius was announced, many of the island's inhabitants, believing it to be a trap, tragically leapt to their deaths from the cliffs.
