Chamarel

Chamarel, a small village located in the south western part of Mauritius, plays host to two wonderful attractions: Seven Colored Earth and the Chamarel Waterfalls. Promoted as a tourist attraction in the sixties, it is now one of the most visited places in Mauritius.

As the name suggests, the ‘Seven Colored Earth' is a phenomenal natural geological formation of multiple dunes comprised of 7 specific colors: Red, Brown, Violet, Green, Blue, Purple and Yellow. Cooling of molten lava at various temperatures led to its formation. Subtle rays of sunshine found during sunrise and sunset reflects its emotions, making it the perfect time to experience this spectacle.

Chamarel Waterfall is an 83m (272ft) waterfall is formed by the river St. Dennis making its way from the Black River Mountains. You can witness crystal clear water breaking free from wild flora and fauna.
