Mauritius · CHAMAREL & THE SEVEN-COLOURED EARTH
18 reviewed
The dunes above Chamarel really do settle into seven colours, and the waterfall beside them drops a hundred metres into the gorge.

In our case, providing an additional opportunity to see the fauna of the island.in place of an activity of less interest to us. We really felt like we got an excellent overview of the South as a whole from Gris-Gris…”

“Splendid day. A 6 k walk specially designed for bird watchers. Absolutely stunning with board walks going high up in the canopies.
