About Silhouette

The highest summit is Mount Dauban (2428 feet), which is surrounded by a virgin rain forest full of botanical treasures such as the rare pitcher plant, orchids, rare hardwoods and incense tree. For many years Silhouette was the home of the notorious pirate Jean-Francois Hodoul. According to local folklore, he buried treasure in the mountains of the island.
