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.

Seven Coloured Earths

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.

What to look for

  • See the exposed bands of coloured volcanic sand at Chamarel.
  • Exposed bands of volcanic sand reveal Chamarel’s distinctive geology.
