Trou de Fer, located on Réunion Island, is a dramatic canyon known for its stunning waterfalls and lush scenery. Access is challenging and typically requires a helicopter tour or a strenuous hike through dense rainforest. Due to the difficult terrain, it is not recommended for individuals with mobility issues. Solo visits are possible for experienced hikers with proper equipment and navigation skills, but guided tours are advisable for safety and to learn about the local flora and fauna. Seasonal weather patterns, particularly heavy rainfall, can affect accessibility and visibility, so it's best to visit during the drier months (May to October). Helicopter tours can range from €200-€300 per person, while guided hiking tours vary depending on the length and difficulty. A helicopter tour offers a quick overview (approximately 30-45 minutes), while a hiking trip can take a full day.
