    Really cool natural waterfall. Not much to say but worth the visit. The park costs 550 per adult which gives access to the waterfall and 7 coloured earth. Only worth going once in my opinion due to the cost of it.

    Entrance costs 550 rupees, this price includes a waterfall, sands and forest. The waterfall is perhaps the most interesting place of all those listed. Large, powerful and very picturesque, located in an incredibly beautiful place. You cannot go down to the waterfall, you can only admire it from afar. If you haven't seen the waterfalls before, you can go, but overall it's not the most impressive place

    Chamarel Waterfall, Mauritius's tallest single-drop waterfall at about 100 meters, is a captivating natural wonder amid the lush vegetation of the Black River Gorges. Formed by the waters of three distinct streams that feed into the Saint Denis River, the waterfall is renowned for its impressive flow rate and scenic surroundings. Historically, the area surrounding Chamarel has been settled since the Dutch colonization in the 16th century and later became significant during the French colonial period for its sugarcane production. Today, Chamarel Waterfall remains a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering breathtaking views from various vantage points and serving as a highlight within the larger Chamarel region, which also includes the famous seven-coloured earth and the Chamarel rum distillery.
