Rodrigues 2018

In 2018, a cultural journey to Rodrigues Island, a dependency of Mauritius, allowed for an exploration of this remote island and its unique cultural and natural aspects. Located east of the main island of Mauritius, Rodrigues stands out with its hilly landscapes, pristine beaches, and a slower pace of life.

The visit was marked by Cyclone Berguitta, which struck Rodrigues and resulted in a week-long immobilization. This unusual circumstance provided insight into island life during cyclonic periods, a common reality for inhabitants of the Indian Ocean. Despite the adverse weather, the experience offered an opportunity to observe the traditions and resilience of the Rodriguans, while discovering their local culture and cuisine.

This immersion in the daily life of Rodrigues Island in 2018 offered a unique perspective on the challenges and authenticity of this Mauritian island.
