Driving along Route des Laves, to see firsthand the effects of volcanoes on the ever-changing landscape. Volcanic flows from Piton de la Fournaise regularly roll across the landscape, shaping the area as the flows cool and harden. Take a walk on the multicolored lava flow, nature’s work of art that's part of the National Park of Reunion. Be aware that the road is known to be closed for undefined time periods following volcanic eruptions. Plan trip to Saint-Philippe with our itinerary maker to find out where to go and what to do.
