8. The Seven Coloured Earths are a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel plain of the Rivière Noire District in south-western Mauritius. It is a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours (approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow). The main feature of the place is that since these differently coloured sands spontaneously settle in different layers, dunes acquire a surrealistic, striped colouring. Since the earth was first exposed, rains have carved beautiful patterns into the hillside, creating an effect of earthen meringue.

About Chamarel

Chamarel is a cool upland village in south-west Mauritius, known for its Seven Coloured Earths, a high waterfall and views over forested hills to the sea.

Chamarel sits on a plateau in the south-west of Mauritius, on the edge of the Black River Gorges, where the air is cooler than on the coast. The village is surrounded by sugar cane, coffee bushes and forest, with views to the sea and the Le Morne mountain below. Its Seven Coloured Earths, dunes of red, brown, violet and other shades of weathered volcanic soil, lie in a small fenced park.
