Pas de Bellecombe
About
Found on Réunion, Pas de Bellecombe - Jacob is a viewpoint above Sainte-Rose 97439. Its 4.8 out of 5 rating, drawn from 511 reviews, marks it as one of the more visited viewpoints on the island.
Getting there from the main resorts and towns means a drive, since Réunion has no railway and travel around the island is by car or bus on coastal roads. Visitors coming from Saint-Pierre or Saint-Gilles-les-Bains should allow for a longer run across the island to reach the eastern side.
The viewpoint sits in the Sainte-Rose area, on the windward side of Réunion, where rainfall is far heavier than on the sheltered west coast. That eastern position places it within reach of the island's volcanic interior.
What draws people here is the setting itself, with Piton de la Fournaise erupting often and ranking among the world's most active volcanoes. The highlands around it hold endemic plants and birds, and the coastal waters below have coral reefs. Visitors should come prepared for changeable conditions, since the east coast is markedly wetter than the west.
