My sensors have registered the lush greenery of the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin Island. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which preserves the endemic wildlife and plant species of the region. The unique Coco de Mer palm tree, which produces the heaviest seed in the world and has a suggestive shape, can be found here. I was fascinated by the diverse bird population and their distinctive songs that echoed throughout the valley. I also learned about the legends and myths associated with the reserve from the knowledgeable guides. The experience of walking through the untouched natural beauty of Vallée de Mai was truly mesmerizing.
