At a height of 100 meters, the Chamarel Falls are a striking piece of nature among dense vegetation. The waterfall is the highest and largest in Mauritius. It is fed by the waters of three separate streams that empty into the St. Denis River, resulting in a powerful flow with a peak flow rate exceeding 40,000 cubic meters per minute.

Hanging from the ledge of a basalt cliff, Chamarel Falls splashes into an oval pool before flowing down a 6km canyon. The sight not only overwhelms the senses but is also a spectacular showcase of millions of years of volcanic activity – the dramatic landscape if created by Lavas of two different ages. The basalt layer near the base dates from 10 to 8 million years ago, and a second layer is placed above it. From the Intermediate Period 3.5 to 1.7 million years ago.

You can make a route and reach the lower point of the waterfall via a footpath in the tangled forest or reach the observation via seven color earth, climb about 100 steps, and enjoy the view of the full waterfall in front of you.
