Le Morne - Deep in the woods, you might encounter the exquisite sea bird, Paille en Queue, and indigenous plant species that will captivate your attention. As you progress, you’ll find yourself in the mountain’s dry and rugged terrain, which can be quite challenging. The heat will increase, so it’s recommended to bring a sun hat or cap and water. It’s also important to be well-equipped with sunscreen and sturdy trekking shoes due to the uneven tracks.
As you advance, you’ll encounter a massive basalt rock peak dotted with caves that once sheltered runaway slaves. You’ll need to climb a rocky hill with equipment provided by the guides, which can be quite a challenging experience. As you gradually ascend to the summit, you’ll easily spot the large metal cross marking the highest accessible point. Take this opportunity to marvel at the breathtaking views of Ile aux Benitiers, Le Morne beach, and the stunning surrounding areas. - Viewpoint - At Chamarel Viewpoint, immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of Mauritius, where the island’s west coast unfolds like a living canvas before you.

Macchabée Viewpoint - Macchabée Viewpoint is one of the most spectacular vantage points in Black River Gorges National Park, offering sweeping views over Mauritius’ largest protected forest. Located in the island’s southwestern highlands, this viewpoint overlooks dense green valleys and dramatic ridges. It is a paradise for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and hikers, as the area is home to several endemic species, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet, and Mauritian kestrel. The viewpoint provides a perfect balance of tranquility and adventure: the fresh mountain breeze, the sound of rustling leaves, and the vast scenery create a sense of being surrounded by untouched wilderness. On clear days, visitors can admire panoramic vistas stretching from the heart of the rainforest all the way down to the western coast. Macchabée is more than just a viewpoint—it is a window into the natural heritage of Mauritius, a place where the island’s biodiversity and landscapes can be appreciated in their purest form.

Alexandra Falls - If you love waterfalls as much as we do, this is a “not-to-be-missed”!
Alexandra Falls is hidden in the deep jungle of the Black River Gorges National Park and is something out of a movie scene! Strolling around this wondrously imaginative setting, you’ll find it hard to believe you’re on planet Earth!
The allure of falling water; surrounded by the lush greenery, to the sounds of local bird species and other creatures are perfect continual motions that drive us as humans to mentally relax at the sight of Alexandra Falls. The surroundings of the waterfalls depict a real jungle book and promise tranquility and peacefulness while you enjoy one of the best places to see in Mauritius.
Alexandra Falls is accessible on your route to Plaine Champagne (ideal for fruit picking) and heading to Grand Bassin. It is an excellent addition to your day trip at those two locations and passing through other natural wonders along Chamarel.
- Grand Bassin - Grand Bassin, located deep in the heart of Mauritius, is one of the island’s most sacred and serene sites. Situated about 6 km southeast of Mare aux Vacoas, this natural crater lake lies 550 meters above sea level in a secluded mountain area, surrounded by lush greenery. Known as Ganga Talao, it holds immense spiritual significance for Mauritians of the Hindu faith, who regard it as a holy lake connected to the sacred waters of the Ganges River in India. Every year, during the Maha Shivaratri festival, thousands of pilgrims walk long distances carrying decorated kanwars to honor Lord Shiva in a moving display of devotion. Around the lake stands a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, along with shrines to other deities such as Hanuman and Lakshmi, and the towering statue of Lord Shiva welcomes visitors. Grand Bassin is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of unity, culture, and peace, offering both pilgrims and tourists a profound spiritual experience in Mauritius.
