Praslin and surrounding islands
Praslin
Location
Located about 40 km north of Mahé, Praslin is the second largest island of Seychelles. The island has a population of 5000 inhabitants.
General description
Praslin is a granitic island such as Mahé, but the mountains are less high and vegetation less abundant.
One of the most important nature reserves of Seychelles is the Vallée de Mai, a World Heritage Site on the UN. It is the only natural habitat of the Coco de Mer, an endemic Palm tree.
