Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark - Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark is a fascinating place that highlights the incredible diversity of our planet. It’s amazing to see how the earth can create such unique and vibrant colors naturally. The park itself is well-maintained, with excellent facilities that make your visit comfortable. There are also adorable tortoises on the grounds, adding a cute touch to the experience. It’s a great spot to learn about the natural wonders of Mauritius and appreciate the beauty of our planet’s diversity.

Experience at the top / Guides at the top - The view was superb, very nice excursion with two guides at the top! Kind and warm, a big thank you to Anish and Tash!

The rainbow land - Also this experience was beautiful, go to Mairitus and not see Chamarel and the seven colors... it is impossible ..

To see, but not so memorable - The Geopark includes several attractions and the main ones are only Chamarel Falls and the lands of 7 colors. The access road to the park starts from the B104 and is not very visible, because it is right in a curve. But there are a few signs and then Google Map “knows” it and so it is hard to miss it. The ticket office is right at the beginning. Here you can choose from different combinations of attractions, by consulting the explanatory signs or asking the staff directly. After passing the ticket office, first meet the Chamarel Waterfall parking lot and continuing, arrive at the bottom of the Terre dei 7 colori parking lot. From here continue for a short walk and arrive at the colorful hills, which are among the most publicized attractions of Mauritius. You can only walk around it following a wooden walkway and, next to it, you can also see a fence with giant turtles. For me the place was a bit disappointing, because the colors are not so obvious. The situation improved a bit when the sun came out, but I remain convinced that many of the photos found on the internet are obtained with filters. There is also a bar and a small gift shop on site. It is a geological formation “discovered” by a member of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Mauritius in 1879. The dunes include sands colored with seven different colors (red, brown, purple, green, blue, purple and yellow). The sands were formed about 600 million years ago by the decomposition of a volcanic rock gully (basalt) in clay. The content of the sands is responsible for the different colors; in particular, the two main chemical elements present in the soil, iron and aluminum, are responsible for the colors red/anthracite and blue/violet. It is believed that the different color layers are a consequence of the cooling of molten volcanic rocks at different external temperatures (leading to different percentages of elements mixed with sand), but the causes of their evident spontaneous separation have not yet been definitively elucidated. Rating 4 refers to the Geopark as a whole, while the Lands of 7 colors would give a 3, in the average.

A beautiful wonder - A beautiful wonder for those interested in seeing and understanding how the soils is so colourful. The ticket is fairly priced. You get to see giant tortoises as well. It doesn’t take long to go around so make sure you allocate other things in your day.

Geological phenomenon - Curious to see. The place is quite easy to access. The site is well maintained and the colors are pretty enough for a rare phenomenon.

5min is enough to visit - It's nice will not say the contrary but not worthy for the entrance fees you see only colour's earth n turtles that all you can have there

Beautiful to see - It is beautiful to see, the different colors of the earth. The waterfall is also worth seeing. But in less than an hour you'll be through this park. The entrance fee was on the high side compared to what you see, do and how much time you spend there.

Visit of a multicolored and unusual volcanic land - It is the site of the land of 7 colors and the eponymous waterfall. Beautiful setting in a rainforest, the various sites are accessible by car or on foot. The visit is quick and will take about 1 hour (site + casacde). Clearly possible to insert it in a day trip (price/pers of Rs 550).

There are 3 faded colors of earth here! - Maybe the earth used to be 7 colours sometime ago but in March 2025, it was 3 faded colours! We waited in line for 15 minutes to make the payment. People in their cars who don’t feel like waiting come out of their cars to the ticket booth. Then the competition to pay for the ticket begins. There is no line. The people who want to pay from their cars are competing with the people who have come out of the cars. Motorcycles whiz by the parked cars and go ahead of them to the ticket booth. There is no brochure for the site. There are no tour guides (I saw that on the website and should have interpreted that sign and stayed away!) There is not enough parking so the taxi and bus drivers have to play Musical Parking Spots. The taxi drivers have to move so the parking spot as new buses and cars arrive. The parking spot where you left the taxi will NOT be his parking spot when you return. You’ll have to scour the 100 buses and cars in parking lot until you find your taxi driver. There is a resident stray cat at the restaurant. Don’t even think of trying to finish your meal in peace! Who needs a stray cat at a restaurant? Don’t waste your time to get to 7 Colors of Earth! Don’t waste your $600 rupees for adults! 7 Colored Earth overpromises and underdelivers!
