Seven Coloured Earths
At Chamarel, the Seven Coloured Earths display bands of exposed volcanic sand, a compact geological sight within the village’s upland landscape.
Why go
The colour bands make the site more than a general lookout: they draw attention to the island’s volcanic geology at close range. This is a small, focused attraction, so it works well alongside other Chamarel stops while remaining visually distinct from the waterfall and forest.
