Probably the most special place of Praslin island, Vallee de Mai is home to the famed coco de mer palm. Even in the rain, a visit will leave you in awe.
Walking around inside the park is a joy for the senses and makes you feel a dwarf. The coco de mer tree is the main attraction of the park, there are around 4000 of them, and they are huge! The tallest tree can reach up to 30 metres, the leaves can grow up to being 6 metres wide and 14 metres long. Truly giant palm trees! As we entered, a wind was blowing through the top of the trees, causing them to accompany us with a continuous clattering sound. The base of the palm tree is so stable that it keeps the palm straight, even under tropical rains and storms. Realizing the natural power emanating from these giants, and their age (over 200 years), makes you feel humble and respectful.
