Pro tips to help you make a pick

Bring sun protection, as the viewing platforms and paths are mostly exposed with limited shade.

Combine your visit with the Chamarel Waterfall viewpoint for a richer experience.

Photography enthusiasts should use a polarizing filter to capture the vivid colors of the dunes.

Stay on designated paths and platforms for the best views and to help preserve the site.

Look out for educational signs along the trails to deepen your understanding of the geopark’s geology and ecology.

About Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark

Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark stands out in any Mauritius nature experience, offering visitors a rare glimpse of multicolored volcanic dunes, scenic forest trails, and the breathtaking Chamarel Waterfall. It’s a perfect addition to any day trip exploring the island’s geological and ecological treasures.

Did you know?

The colored dunes cover about 7,500 square meters within the 8.5-hectare geopark.

Despite heavy rainfall, the colored sands remain separated due to differences in soil density.

The dunes are formed from weathered volcanic basalt, with iron and aluminum oxides creating the distinct colors.

Tourism at the site began in the 1960s, making it one of Mauritius’s earliest natural attractions.

Why visit Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark?

Meet Giant Aldabra Tortoises

Visit the on-site enclosures to encounter Aldabra tortoises, some of the largest and oldest tortoise species in the world.

Learn About Volcanic Origins

Explore educational walking trails and displays that reveal the fascinating geological processes behind Mauritius’s formation and the creation of the colored earth.

Combine with Nearby Attractions

Easily pair your visit with the Chamarel Waterfall, rum distilleries, and Black River Gorges National Park for a full day of adventure in southwest Mauritius.
