If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, it’s high time you set course for the Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park during your escape to Mauritius. It’s a veritable treasure trove of greenery, where life finds its way in perfect symbiosis to unfold breathtaking wonders for the eyes of travelers. Encompassing lush endemic flora, free-ranging wildlife, astonishingly beautiful panoramas and a host of fun and sporting activities for kids and adults alike… needless to say, the delights of escape won’t escape you !

Exploring the south of Mauritius

In the heart of south-west Mauritius, nestles the magnificent Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park. A veritable melting pot of lush natural beauty, this heavenly spot lies halfway between the renowned Black River Gorges National Park and the island’s ruggedly authentic south coast. Delicately incorporating the Bois Chéri tea plantations and Chamarel’s Domaine aux 7 couleurs, this verdant area is an ode to the diversity of flora and fauna. An ideal place for families looking for outdoor activities, and a not-to-be-missed rendezvous for all those staying in the south of the island.

The park’s extraordinary natural wealth

The park's extraordinary natural wealth

The park boasts an overflowing diversity of natural attractions. Without a doubt, the most sought-after delight is the earth, with its 23 distinct colors. Which is actually a rock formation several millennia old, created by a chemical reaction between magma and atmosphere, following one of the eruptions of the famous Bassin Blanc. The breathtaking phenomenon of volcanic eruptions has the distinctive feature of greatly fertilizing the soil. As a result, it’s no surprise to discover that vegetation is densely omnipresent.

Stroll through the verdant fern gardens, where wildflowers adorn the park, such as the magnificent, delicate orchids. If your visit to the Valley of Colors coincides with the month of December, you’ll have the chance to admire the extraordinary flowering of the Bouquet Banané, a botanical event that only occurs at this particular time of year. The prodigious space of the park reveals a multitude of reliefs, offering a contemplation of Mauritian nature in all its splendid variants. Why not take on the challenge of climbing the various mountains and high plateaus from which the panorama of the southern coastline is absolutely breathtaking. In need of a little freshness?

Set course for the ponds and waterfalls for a moment of optimal relaxation, punctuated by the soothing sound of lapping water. In summer, you can even indulge in an invigorating soak under one of the 4 fabulous waterfalls for guaranteed refreshment.

An invitation to escape into the wilderness

If the call of nature and the lure of extraordinary expeditions don’t spare you, the bewitching valley of colors will be the perfect den to quench your thirst for adventure.

The nobility of hiking

Hiking, a space of freedom and communion with Mother Nature, is the perfect opportunity to discover this wonderful territory at your own pace. This epic journey through the wilderness, lulled by breathtaking scenery, may also include chance encounters with local wildlife. So, as you make your way along a path, between two squirrels playing hide-and-seek, don’t be surprised to meet the curious gaze of Java deer, hundred-year-old tortoises or majestic peacocks. The key? Keep your eyes peeled so you don’t miss a thing.

Quad biking, passion and speed

If the idea of flirting with adventure tickles your fancy, why not opt for the vehemence of a quad bike tour? This hair-raising option gives you the chance to take in the whole valley in a short space of time, freeing you up to try other equally delectable experiences.

Tyrolean traverse, a whirlwind of sensations

For intrepid thrill-seekers, why not slip into a bird’s suit for a zip-line flight? Spanning valleys and ponds, you’ll discover the immensity of this wilderness from the air. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or an eaglet just out of the nest, the experience promises to be unforgettable.

The Step Jet, between daring and exercise

And if you’re looking to get off the beaten track, the strange and effervescent Step Jet is sure to satisfy your desire for originality. A sort of floating arch on which you’ll stand with panache, this aquatic craft is steered by movements similar to walking, which will give you Dantesque sensations, like the gentle impression of gambolling on water.
