Le cascate di Chamarel, which take their name from the homonymous village, they have a height of 95 meters and are the highest on the island.

The Earth of the seven colors, Its main characteristic is that the different shades of color of the sands, arranged in a natural way in seven different layers, create a surreal coloring in stripes. The sands were formed by the decomposition of a volcanic rock (basalt) in clay.

Ebony forest , Once upon a time, ebony trees dominated Mauritius, today, little native forest remains. Our goal at Ebony Forest is to restore and recreate 45 hectares of indigenous forest. The unique biodiversity of Mauritius depends on it. Since 2006, we have weeded over 13 hectares and planted more than 130,000 indigenous plants grown in our native plant nursery. Restoration work is a long-term commitment and requires a full-time dedicated team to control the invasive plants. Your visit helps finance this costly work. Apart from invasive plants and animals threatening the island’s biodiversity, we recognize that one of the main threats is a lack of awareness and a disconnection with nature. The future of Nature depends on present and future generations recognizing its value. Our Ecology Centre and education programmes are designed to reconnect local children with their natural heritage. Acting today to conserve and restore our biodiversity will have huge dividends in the future. Nature is priceless and we all depend on it. We believe that indigenous species should not just be found in forests. We regularly donate indigenous plants to green public places.

The 7 waterfalls

Hike Piton de la Petite Riviere Noire

One of the starting points is located in the national park about 25 minutes by car from the Gaulette, the route takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes in the middle of the guava forest which from April to June is filled with the sweetest fruits. There are many monkeys and birds of various kinds. The track is quite hilly except for the last 10 minutes where it gets a bit steep but don't worry there are fixed ropes to help you (see video below). It rains very frequently so it's easy to find mud in the path, sneakers or trekking shoes with a good sole are essential.

Hike Le Morne Brabant

For a long time, the mountain was privatised and closed to public access, but now a free path has been opened to the public. At the top, there is an iconic Cross and a breathtaking view of the pristine sea that would leave everyone in awe!

In terms of difficulty levels, the trekking time is around 90 mins, with only the last 30 minutes stretch becoming a bit steep and rocky.

Water and sport shoes with a good sole are essential. For those suffering from vertigo, the last part of the trek is not recommended.

Hike La Tourelle Tamarin

The start is located in the Tamarin residential area about 15 minutes drive from the Gaulette. The path takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, rather steep and almost always exposed to the sun (preferably early in the morning) there are fixed ropes to facilitate the safe ascent. Water and sneakers - trekking with a good sole are essential!
