South Mauritius, Le Morne, and Chamarel
In the south of Mauritius, you will encounter breathtaking landscapes that are among the most spectacular on the entire island. Leave the beaches behind and explore the rugged southern coast, the impressive cliffs of the Black River Gorges National Park, and the enchanting underwater world of Blue Bay Marine Park.
Le Morne and Blue Bay
Le Morne, located at the foot of Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its panoramic views and clear waters.
Blue Bay not only ranks among the most beautiful beaches but also holds the top spot as the best snorkeling and diving location in Mauritius. It is situated in the southeast of the island. The water there is crystal clear and features a magnificent, colorful coral reef filled with tropical fish.
The Chamarel Highlands
The Chamarel Highlands in Mauritius form a stunning and tropical landscape, rich in colors and natural beauty. This region is known for its unique geological formations and lush, green vegetation that contrasts with the deep blue Indian Ocean in the background.
One of the most iconic sights in Chamarel is the 'Seven Colored Earth,' a natural phenomenon where sand dunes in seven different colors - red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow - alternate. This extraordinary spectacle is the result of volcanic rocks that have been transformed by wind and weather into vibrant layers of clay.
Not far from the Seven Colored Earth is the Chamarel waterfall, which plunges nearly 100 meters into a lush green amphitheater. The waterfall is surrounded by dense forests.
For hikers, Chamarel offers numerous trails that run through the Black River Gorges National Park. This park is perfect for nature lovers and is home to several rare bird species. The walking paths lead through dense forests and past picturesque viewpoints that offer breathtaking views of the entire region.
