FAMOUS SEVEN-COLOURED EARTH.

The village of Chamarel located in the south of the island is the most visited natural site in Mauritius. This small village is home to the highest waterfall of the island and the famous seven-coloured earth. The Chamarel waterfall is a waterfall of over 100 meters that ends up in a huge natural pool.

The seven-coloured earth of Chamarel is a unique marvel in the world. This place is composed of distinct colours of sand dunes. Depending on the climate and the time of day, the land of Chamarel takes different shades. This phenomenon is due to the cooling of the land of volcanic origin at different temperatures.
