2. Visit Chamarel Coloured Earth

Get set for a unique geographical phenomenon revealing at Chamarel’s 7 Coloured Earth—a geopark with a surreal view!
Popular for being a centre of geological education and conservation, this tourism hotspot is located close to the Chamarel waterfall. While here, admire the multicoloured landform, trek to nearby waterfall and take cute pictures with the residential giant turtles. You can also hope by the restaurant for local snacks and refreshments.

 

 3. Explore Caudan Waterfront

If you wish to spend a day tasting the best of Mauritius through food, shopping, casino, leisure and artistry, then you cannot miss visiting Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis. Lined with rows of shops and restaurants selling everything from Mauritian street food and gourmet delicacies to local crafts and jewellery, gear up for an experience unlike any other.
Admire the best of artworks at the Blue Penny Museum, Caudan Art Centre and L’Allée des Artistes (The Artists Corner).

And do not forget to indulge in the many food options available here for a wholesome experience.

 

 4. Experience Mauritius’ Nightlife
