Chamarel Waterfall

Chamarel Waterfalls in the highest waterfall in Mauritius dropping more than 200 feet located near Seven Colored Earth. Surrounded by the vegetation of Black River Gorges, it is simply spectacular. Hiking to the top of the waterfall and jumping into the clear pool below is the most popular activity here. There are two viewpoints that boast a vivid view of the waterfall. It is also a popular photography spot.

The Chamarel Falls is located in the middle of a beautiful canyon and has an easy trekking trail to its base. The trek takes 3-4 hours from a 6km tropical-forest-fringed canyon to Baie du Cap. Abseiling from the very top of the cliff face through the waterfall and down to the pool is also popular. During the summer, the waterfall divides itself into two or three thin trickles which never join until they reach the basin, but during the monsoon (or after heavy rain), the waterfall gushes down as one single mighty stream. The best way to visit Chamarel Waterfall is on a tour.
