Perched high in the mountains and lulled by an almost mystical atmosphere, Chamarel, a small village typical of Mauritius, is home to a host of natural treasures. Nestled in the heart of the Black River National Park, Chamarel radiates exceptional natural splendor, captivating travelers in search of an authentic Mauritian experience every year.

La Terre des Sept Couleurs, a natural chromatic extravaganza

Let yourself be overwhelmed by a multicolored palette as you explore the land of seven colors. Here, sand dunes spread out in a dazzling kaleidoscope of red, orange, yellow and purple hues. These colorful ripples line a hilly terrace, creating a hypnotic spectacle in stark contrast to the lush greenery that envelops it.

This singular geological wonder of unrivalled beauty stands out as one of Mauritius’s most phenomenal natural attractions.

The Cascade de Chamarel, a hypnotic spectacle of nature

Continue your epic journey of wonder by heading for the Chamarel waterfall. Let the majesty of this waterfall intoxicate you, as it cascades down from an altitude of 83 metres – a national record. You won’t be able to resist the temptation to take a photo break from the lookout, offering a sensational view of the falls and the various endemic bird species soaring in the skies.

For the adventurous, a hike through the rainforest of the Black River gorges is a must. This will take you to the foot of the waterfall, where you can bask and dive in the cool, shallow water.

La Rhumerie Chamarel, a culinary and sensory journey

After these outdoor escapades, set course for the estate of La Rhumerie Chamarel. Your multi-sensory experience is triggered right from the start of the trip, when the landscape is transformed into a mosaic of pineapple, sugarcane and other tropical fruit fields. The air seems to be infused with sweet scents as you prepare to explore the rum-making process.

From the meticulous hand-sorting of sugar cane to the bottling process, each stage of your visit takes place in a carefully modulated setting for an immersive experience. Extend this sensory journey with a tasting of artisanal rums and liqueurs, topped off with a delicious local meal from the rum-maker’s restaurant, l’Alchimiste.

What sightseeing tours are there around Chamarel?

The “Contrasts & Nuances” Excursion offers a deep dive into the natural splendors of southwest Mauritius. Start by exploring the “Trou aux Cerfs”, a dormant volcano offering spectacular panoramic views from its pine-lined crater and lush tropical flora. Then make your way to “Grand Bassin”, the local Hindu pilgrimage site, before an invigorating stop in the Black River gorge, home to exotic birds such as the Paille en Queue, the Crรฉcerelle and the Cateau Vert. Finally, you’ll conclude this pleasant expedition with the breathtaking panoramas of Chamarel.
