But the Island of Paul & Virginie, despite its small size, also harbors a fascinating hinderland that will not fail to seduce he who wishes to push beyond its sea-grit shirt to probe deeper. Mauritius is in truth a garden of a thousand contrasts, heightened by a variety of microclimates. The north is on the whole sunny, the center and east humid, the south dry with savannahs interspersed with tree groves. Most visitors visit Mauritius for its unrivalled lagoons and incomparable beaches. But there is a pleasant surprise awaiting you. Every visitor very quickly becomes aware of the marked diversity of the population. Indians comprise just over 1 million of the population, Chinese shopkeepers and descendants of African & Malagasy slaves number about 300,000.
