The Authentic Chamarel

Your road trip will begin with a visit to the iconic Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth Geopark, where you will stop by the Chamarel Waterfalls - the highest in Mauritius, roam around the coloured dunes, stop for a coffee or a fresh sugar cane juice at the Viewpoint Café, bring back a few souvenirs or picture our Aldabra tortoises chilling in their enclosure. After a morning marveling at the beauty of the coloured earth, stop by Le Chamarel Restaurant to taste a set menu of authentic cuisine that will take you on a culinary voyage, reflecting the origins of the multiple ethnicities present in Mauritius.
