Chamarel

Chamarel is a village amid the landscapes of south-west Mauritius, with the Seven Coloured Earths, a waterfall and ebony forest nearby. Come for a cluster of nature stops, each with separate access.

Chamarel

Why go

The draw is the close contrast between volcanic sands, falling water and forested slopes. The Seven Coloured Earths reveal bands of colour in the ground, while Chamarel Waterfall gives the landscape scale. Ebony forest adds another reason to linger in this part of the island rather than treating the village as a single viewpoint.

What to look for

  • The different bands of volcanic sand at the Seven Coloured Earths.
  • Chamarel Waterfall set against a green valley.
  • Ebony forest in the surrounding landscape.

Useful to know

  • Choose which nearby attractions matter most before setting out; the village is not one admission site.
  • Check each attraction’s current admission and opening details directly.
  • Leave time for separate stops at the coloured earths and waterfall rather than treating them as one view.
