Helpfulness
The National Park (and world heritage site), called Vallée the Mai, in the centre of Praslin is one of the few places on earth where you can see the Coco de Mer palmtree. This species is only to be found on the Seychelles and has trees that can be over 200 years old. The first people who set foot on the islands believed that they had found the Garden of Eden, for the female fruit of this plant has a strikin resemblance with the ´hip area´ of a woman. This nut can weigh up to 20 kg and is therefore also the biggest on earth! The male fruit looks like a giant catkin.
A tour in the jungle is worth while, if only to experience the lush vegetation and this living and breathing tropical island from close up. (check out all the palmspiders by the way! And if you get lucky you will even see the rare Black Parrot.)
