seven colors earth This is one of the recommended attractions in Mauritius. In the park you can see the seven colors of the earth’s sands, the Schmarl waterfall – one of the most impressive waterfalls in Mauritius, and also touch and feed the giant tortoises.
The 7 colors phenomenon became a major attraction when tourism began in Mauritius in the 1960s. The thickness of the dunes can reach up to 15 meters and contain traces of ancient geo-climatic activities. The noticeable separation between the different colors can be explained by the fact that the iron and aluminum particles in the sand strips repel each other. The dunes were carved by rain over thousands of years.
You can join a guide who will explain to you the fascinating history of the place, the volcanic eruptions, land drift and collision, other unusual geological events that contributed to the formation of tropical reefs and oceans, lagoons, mountain ranges and basalt cliffs in Mauritius.
Another point to stop is the giant terrapins, where you can touch and feed them.
There is also a highly recommended cafe in the place, which has the only coffee grown and processed in Mauritius. In addition, you can drink the special sugar cane drink of Mauritius and enjoy a sweet and special taste. In addition, there are popsicles made from only natural ingredients that are produced in Mauritius and are very worth tasting.
Cost : 550 Mauritian rupees per person. Under the age of 3 the entrance is free.
Length : depends on you – if you chose an hour tour, take at least another hour for the additional things.
It is recommended to bring with you : comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen and mosquito spray. You can also bring food with you, but you can also stop at the cafe to eat a hamburger or a sandwich.
Tips : If you plan to eat there, know that it is not cheap there. It is recommended to bring a sandwich with you and sit in the designated areas. There are no nearby restaurants outside the attraction – prepare yourself in advance. Despite the restaurant’s high prices, we do recommend that you drink the sugar cane water that is ground on the spot and see the way it is prepared right in front of you. Note that you need the payment confirmation you received at the entrance and the tickets at each stop, so keep it on you and not in the car because you will have to return to it to enter.
If you like attractions, you can enter the experience park adjacent to the attraction – LAVILLEON ADVENTURE PARK , an attraction park for the whole family that includes tracks, mountain climbing, zipline and more, among the beautiful nature of Mauritius .
