Flora and Fauna
Praslin is home to one of Seychelles' two UNESCO World Heritage sites, namely
the reknowned Valleé de Mai, once believed to be the original location
of the Garden of Eden. This is where the legendary Coco-de-Mer, the world's
heaviest nut grows high on ancient palms in a primeval forest. The Vallée
is host to six species of palm to be found only in Seychelles and also to a
number of endemic pandans or screwpines while on its upper slopes several native,
broad-leaved trees can still be found.
