Tucked in the village of Chamarel, Seven Colored Earth Geopark is one of Mauritius’ most iconic natural wonders. The site is famed for its surreal sand dunes, which display striking shades of red, violet, blue, green, and yellow, formed by centuries of volcanic activity and mineral-rich soils.
Visitors can walk along wooden pathways that showcase the shimmering dunes from multiple viewpoints, while also exploring attractions within the park such as the Chamarel Waterfall, giant Aldabra tortoises, and educational exhibits on the island’s geology. The landscape, particularly at sunrise and sunset, offers a truly otherworldly experience.
Celebrated as both a scientific treasure and a tourist highlight, Seven Colored Earth Geopark captures Mauritius’ unique natural heritage. It is more than a sight to behold, it is a reminder of the island’s volcanic origins and its enduring beauty.
