Chamarel
A tiny village with a population of roughly 700, Chamarel is
located in the southwest of Mauritius. The town is famous for one
thing: the Seven Coloured Earth, a remarkable natural phenomenon of
many-coloured striped sand dunes. Chamarel has a few other
attractions however, including the stunning Chamarel Falls, and the
many sights of nearby Black River Gorge National Park. A relatively
new attraction is the Chamarel Adventure Park, perfect for those in
search of an adrenaline rush. Chamarel itself offers little in the
way of urban attractions, with few dining or shopping opportunities
and no nightlife, and is better-suited to tourists who wanting to
enjoy the beautiful nature of Mauritius.
