One of the most iconic attractions in Mauritius, the Land of 7 Colours at Chamarel offers a unique experience not only for geology and nature lovers, but also for those who want to better understand this rare geological phenomenon. You will be impressed by the shades of colours and the harmony that characterises this place. The Geopark is located in the South West Coast of Mauritius in the district of Black River. You may admire the majestic waterfall in the background of the Black River mountain range.

Nature has its own way of catching the attraction, the Chamarel’s Seven Coloured Earth has something unusual to offer that will tickle your imagination. It is the first and main geopark of the island a true spectacle of nature. The Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth in Mauritius is a true emblem of the island with red, green, purple, brown, violet and yellow sand set in the middle of the lush vegetation. Both a natural and cultural phenomenon. The real story is more fascinating than any fiction, a preserved natural park expanding over 8.5 hectares of land, forest, rivers and waterfalls. It is said that if you scramble up the 7 Coloured sands, they would all rearrange themselves by colour in a matter of hours according to colour.

These patterns reflect the natural pattern of rainfall in Chamarel across thousands and thousands of years. Even today, these patterns continue to be carved by rain and wind, a product of their environment, an inimitable design created by Nature itself.
