Anadenanthera peregrina, also known as yopo, jopo, cohoba, cojoba, parica or calcium tree, is a perennial tree in the family Fabaceae native to the Caribbean and South America. It grows up to 20 m (70 ft) tall, and has a thorny bark. Its flowers grow in small, pale yellow to white spherical clusters resembling Acacia inflorescences. It is an entheogen which has been used in healing ceremonies and rituals for thousands of years in northern South America and the Caribbean. Although the seeds of the yopo tree were originally gathered from the wild, increased competition between tribes over access to the seeds led to it being intentionally cultivated and transported elsewhere.

As you explore the area, you'll notice the impressive Ebene Cybercity, a state-of-the-art business park that houses some of the country's leading companies. With its sleek glass buildings and manicured lawns, the Cybercity is a shining example of Mauritius' commitment to innovation and progress.

But despite its modernity, Ebene has managed to maintain a strong sense of cultural heritage. The nearby Eureka House, a colonial-era mansion turned museum, is a testament to the island's complex history. Here, you can admire the beautifully preserved architecture and learn about the lives of the plantation owners and slaves who once lived there.
