One of Mauritius most popular tourist attractions is the Seven Coloured Earth of Chamarel. A small area of strikingly bare landscape that s located in the middle of a large, dense forest, it s a place of great geological curiosity. Appearing as large ripples across the earth, the carved hills are covered in pulverised rocks in varying shades of purple, red, brown, grey and orange. The village of Chamarel is also home to the Chamarel Waterfall, the highest waterfall on Mauritius cascading nearly 83 metres against a scenic backdrop of forest and mountains.
