Reaching Le Souffleur from the main resorts and towns on the island involves travelling to the south coast, with Mahébourg and Le Morne among the nearby places that sit within the same part of Mauritius. The viewpoint at L'Escalier is set away from the northern resort areas, so a visit fits a day spent exploring the southern coast.
Both Mauritius and Rodrigues are volcanic islands ringed by coral reefs and shallow lagoons, and the south coast of Mauritius shows that volcanic terrain. The cyclone season runs from November to April, and the cooler, drier months fall between June and September, which shapes when a visit is most comfortable. The dodo lived on Mauritius and the solitaire on Rodrigues, and both flightless birds are now extinct. Rodrigues lies about 560 kilometres east of Mauritius and is drier and windier than the main island.
