This way to freedom
The Mauritian monolith known as Le Morne isn't just any tropical escape: There was a time in history when most who approached these shores were on the run from enslavement. In the 18th century, Le Morne was home to a refugee society of people who'd escaped the Dutch slave trade—one of many similar communities on Mauritius and islands all over the world. As a prominent symbol of the long struggle for freedom, Le Morne was named a Cultural Landscape by UNESCO in 2008.
