Trou aux Cerfs, Dormant volcano in Curepipe, Mauritius
The crater measures 350 meters in diameter and reaches a depth of 100 meters, with a small lake at its center.
The volcano experienced its last eruption approximately 700,000 years ago and stands at an elevation of 605 meters above sea level.
Many local residents begin their daily exercise routines at Trou-aux-Cerfs from 5:00 AM, making use of the natural pathways.
Three access points serve the volcano: La Hausse de la Louviere Road, Edgar Huges Road, and Crater Lane, each with parking facilities.
A radar station positioned near the volcanic crater monitors cyclonic activity across the region throughout the year.
