Discover Cascade Léon – A Hidden Gem in Southern Mauritius

Tucked away near Souillac, in the lush tropical woodlands just beyond Rivière des Anguilles, lies Cascade Léon—also known as Leon Waterfall. Surrounded by vibrant sugarcane fields and dense forest, this 20‑metre (≈65 ft) waterfall is a tranquil escape into the heart of Mauritius’ untouched nature.

A Scenic Hike to Serenity
To reach this natural marvel, embark on a short but scenic 15min hike through undulating terrain, forest paths, and rocky outcrops. The journey is a nature-lover’s dream—rewarded at the end with the spectacular view of the falls plunging into a crystal-clear, jewel‑blue pool nestled among lush greenery.

Dive into Adventure
Adventurers and thrill‑seekers, bring your swimwear! Take a refreshing plunge into the cool water, swim behind the cascading falls, and discover a hidden cave tucked behind the curtain of water—perfect for unforgettable memories and Instagram-worthy moments.

Perfect for Picnics & Nature Lovers
Cascade Léon is ideal for solo hikers, families, or groups exploring with a guide from Surinam. Pack a picnic, bring mosquito repellent, and wear sturdy hiking shoes—the trail can be muddy or slippery, especially after rain.

Whether you're looking to reconnect with nature, explore off-the-beaten-path Mauritius, or simply unwind in a serene setting, Cascade Léon offers a unique blend of tranquillity and adventure in the island’s scenic south.
