Tips from the community
Aapravasi Ghat is a World Heritage Site and a significant symbol of Mauritius' multicultural history. It was the first immigration depot in the country and served as a gateway for indentured laborers from India, Madagascar, and Africa to work on sugar plantations. Today, the site is a museum that stands as a testament to the struggles and sacrifices of these immigrants and their contributions to shaping Mauritius' cultural identity.
