Curepipe, Administrative town in Plaines Wilhems District, Mauritius
Curepipe stands at 561 meters above sea level, with streets lined by colonial buildings and residential neighborhoods across the central plateau of Mauritius.
The settlement expanded in 1867 when residents of Port Louis moved to higher ground during a severe malaria outbreak in the capital city.
The Mauritian Academy of Language and Literature maintains its headquarters in Curepipe, contributing to the preservation of local languages and written traditions.
The town connects to Port Louis through an expressway system, making it accessible for the 82,660 residents who travel between these urban centers.
Near the town center, the Trou aux Cerfs crater measures 85 meters in depth and 60 meters in width, marking the presence of an extinct volcano.
