The Virtual Tour of Valle de Mai, SeychellesVallee de Mai is one of two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Seychelles. This is where the legendary Coco de Mer, the worlds heaviest nut grows, high on ancient palms in this primeval forest as can be seen in our Virtual Tour.
The valley is host to six different species of palm to be found only in Seychelles and also to a number of endemic pandans or screwpine, whilst on its upper slopes several native, broad-leaved trees can still be found. The Valley de Mai is a protected area but has several walks through it where one can experience this lush deep and often dense forest.
