Chamarel Seven-Coloured Earth & Waterfall

A private driver-guide takes you up into the lush south-west to the geopark of Chamarel, where volcanic ash has weathered into undulating dunes of seven distinct colours.

Pause at the viewpoint over the Chamarel waterfall — Mauritius’s highest single drop — meet the resident giant tortoises, and finish with a tasting at a local rum distillery set among the cane fields.
