While it first made its appearance a few hundred thousand years ago, it has lost none of its grandeur. Families, couples, photographers, filmmakers, and scientists are drawn to this magnificent volcano.

The Piton de la Fournaise provides a unique opportunity to admire the spectacle of the fire-glowing lava as it hits the slopes of the island to reach the Indian Ocean. The most curious ones will go and visit the volcano from the inside where the lava tubes will take them on a mind journey to the very origins of Reunion Island. And for those who want to explore from the outside, why not meet the volcano on foot or by bike?
