Sugar Adventure

Sugar Adventure

This story begins like a myth although it is absolutely true. Long time ago there was a product that was lusted after as much as gold, as exotic as Indian spices and as desired as Chinese silk. This refers to… ordinary sugar that we could barely imagine our life without. Discover an amazing tale about such a simple yet essential thing during your Mauritius holiday

 

The history of Mauritius is tightly linked with the sugar production. The island is covered with sugarcane plantations that give about 600 000 tons every year! And all this huge industry with more than 400 years of existence holds in an old sugar factory.
