BIENVENUE DANS LA COMMUNE DE : SALAZIE
Quite often covered with fog and mist, Salazie is the greenest and the smallest of the three calderas. Along the way, numerous breathtaking waterfalls plummet down gorges and cliffs, such as the “pisse en l’air” waterfall. Among the three calderas, Salazie is the most accessible one being only 20 minutes from Saint André. Bananas, peaches, medlar, citrus fruits, and chayotes are cultivated in this caldera. Commonly known as “Cristophine” in metropolitan France, the chayote is the symbol of Salazie. The Cirque de Salazie is comprised of small villages such as Salazie, Hell-Bourg, Mare à Vieille Place and Grand Ilet.

The ancient thermal springs
The discovery of the thermal springs in 1842 created an immediate impact. Several people were attracted to the springs due to their therapeutic values, especially anaemic adults from the Indian Ocean. In 1948, the spring was completely blocked due to a cyclone-related landslide. But, note that the installations are still there.
