Chamarel

Overview

Introduction

Although Chamarel village, 18 mi/30 km south of Port Louis, holds little of interest to the casual visitor to Mauritius, the nearby Terres de Couleurs (Colored Earths) make the trip well worth the effort. The name comes from the soil, which is layered in yellow, red, green, blue, purple and black. Also nearby are small, beautiful waterfalls.
