O le motu e mitamita i le tele o ituaiga tagata (o lona talafaʻasolopito na vaʻaia le fesuisuiaʻi o le tafe o tagata i taimi uma), o le tele o ituaiga o meaola ma fugalaʻau (niu, vanila, laʻau mago, ma le manogi vao vetiver) ma o se nofoaga taua uma i itu i sautesisifo o le Vasa Initia. O le teritori Farani talu mai le 1638, na avea Réunion ma matagaluega Farani i le 1946.

I le aofaʻi o le 2512 sikuea kilomita, o le motu e 210 kilomita o le tele o le tele o le talafatai o le talafatai, e ui lava e 25 kilomita o papaʻe oneone oneone ma toeititi 14 kilomita o matafaga oneone oneone i sisifo o le motu.

I le matusasaʻe sisifo, o le Piton des Neiges (3,069 mita) e le amanaʻiaina le tolu calderas o Cilaos, Salazie, ma Mafate o loʻo faʻataʻamilo ai. Lenei nuʻu mulimuli, nofo ai 700 tagata, e le mafai ona ofia i taʻavale. O nei laufanua foliga o le iuga o le paʻu ma le faaleagaina o autafa o le maʻa tuai. I sautesasaʻe, o le Piton de la Fournaise (2,631m) o se maugamu o le talita. O se maugamu e sili ona malosi, lea e pa mai i le tolu taimi i le tausaga - o se mea e maitauina e tagata o le nuʻu.

O le vaomatua o le fale o ferns tulaga ese ma manulele lanu felanulanuaʻi.

Réunion Island o se vaega o le Vanilla Island Vaega.

OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

The shape of the island, which experiences very heavy rains during the wet season because of its tropical climate (between 2,600 and 4,000 mm in the east from November to April), resulted in the formation of innumerable ravines and rivers which descend from the summits, with steep gorges and quieter areas, filled with rocks and, in some cases, beautiful waterfalls and pools.
The east and windy side of the island has high levels of rainfall and is home to various rivers (the Mât, the Marsouins, and the East rivers), in contrast to the arid lands of the sheltered west coast.
The island boasts an ethnically diverse population (its history has seen a constantly changing flow of people), a wide range of fauna and flora (coconut trees, vanilla plants, mango trees, and the perfumed vetiver grass) and an all-important location in the southwest of the Indian Ocean.
