The East

The east coast is everything the west coast is not: low-key, unpretentious and luxuriant (yes, it does get much more rain). While this coast lacks the beaches of the west, the region makes up for it with spectacular waterfalls and fantastic picnic spots. The main produce of the area is sugar cane, but the region is also known for its vanilla plantations and fruit orchards.
