Pieter Both is the second highest mountain in Mauritius, offering challenging but rewarding hiking experiences with panoramic views. Accessibility is limited to experienced hikers due to the steep and rocky terrain; a guided tour is highly recommended for safety and navigation. The best time to visit is during the drier months (May to October) to avoid slippery conditions. A guided hike can cost around $50-$100 USD per person, and the typical visit duration is a full day, ranging from 6 to 8 hours including the ascent and descent. Physical fitness and appropriate hiking gear are essential for a successful and safe climb.
