Entrance to Valle de Mai National Park

There are 200 to 250 giant tortoises inhabiting the park.

The service is good, as the staff will show you 8 years, 5 years, 6 months, and 2 months old babies in the palm of your hand.

Giant tortoises that walk freely are very friendly.

Stroking the nape of the neck like a dog or cat lifts the head.

A small iron that desperately clings to
the railing of a swaying boat like a leaf and prevents it
from hitting the waist.

It's like riding a "rodeo". This makes me sick.

Sand rolls up on the beach and it is far from snorkeling.

Transparency is close to "zero".

 I visited another national park "Curieuse Island".

20 minutes by small boat from Anse Volbert beach in the northwestern part of the Island.

The sea has been rough since last night.
It was good to rent a sea taxi,

but I went slowly while being caught in a big wave.

 It has a lifespan of 200 to 400 years and lives longer than giant tortoises.

The environment surrounding national parks is extending their lifespan.
If you live in this forest, you might live longer.

Many kinds of plants such as jackfruit and vanilla grow naturally, but here they are just a complement.

The gritty texture of palm fruits is by no means good.

Believing in the legend of happiness, I have a feeling that something good will happen on this trip.

The humorous male and female symbols seem
to have a long-standing legend.

I saw twin palms drifting from Seychelles on some Island,
but I can't remember.

This is the birthplace of "Coco de Mer".

The precious existence is a World Heritage Site.

 It takes 15 to 20 years to bear fruit.

This natural environment, covered with palm trees, is a manifestation of potential heredity.

The inflorescence of the male plant is shaped like an elongated rod, reminiscent of a male symbol.

The female strain leans forward to see that it looks exactly like the buttocks of a woman.

When I pick it up it weighs about, 20 kg.

Valle de Mai National Park is located in the middle of the east-west road that crosses the Island.

I feel that the entrance fee of 15 euros (2400 yen) is a little expensive.

After walking in the park for 5 minutes, I came across a mysteriously shaped Coco de Mer.

Palm trees bear dark fruits at a height of 20 to 30 m.

Only in the female nuts are there are mysteriously shaped palm nuts.

If your eyes meet the giant tortoise, your eyes will be nice and charming.

 Play with giant tortoises for a short half hour.

The sea is rough today and tomorrow.

The snorkel gave up just by touching the sea.
