The small village of Chamarel is embraced by forests whose hills are speckled in seven different colors is the most popular tourist attraction on the island. The coloured land is dunes, in which seven different colours are found - red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow.
A unique property of coloured sand is that even if you take several different colours and mix them, they separate again. How this happens remains a mystery to scientists. The coloured sands of Chamarel are thought to have formed during the decomposition of volcanic rocks, which cooled at different temperatures and under different conditions, giving them different colours. Here are also the giant tortoises, a symbol of Chamarel brought many years ago from the Seychelles.
Another natural landmark of the area is the highest waterfall in Mauritius. Officially named after the island's famous French officer Charles Antoine, but much more commonly known as Chamarel Falls. The height of the main cascade of this waterfall, according to different sources, ranges from 88 to 125 meters.
