South Mauritius

South Mauritius, a region rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage, offers a unique blend of lush landscapes, serene beaches, and historical sites. The area is home to some of the island’s most spectacular natural attractions, including the famous Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel, a striking geological formation of vibrant sand dunes. The nearby Chamarel Waterfall, cascading over 100 meters, is another must-see, surrounded by dense tropical forests and offering panoramic views of the island’s interior.

For nature lovers, Black River Gorges National Park is a highlight, with its extensive network of hiking trails that wind through native forests, past waterfalls, and up to scenic viewpoints. The park is also a sanctuary for rare bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

In addition to its natural wonders, South Mauritius is steeped in history and culture. The town of Mahébourg, one of the oldest settlements on the island, provides a glimpse into the island’s colonial past with its charming streets and the fascinating National History Museum. Nearby, the Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao), a sacred Hindu Lake, attracts pilgrims from around the world, especially during the annual Maha Shivaratri festival. The region is also known for its authentic local cuisine, offering a delicious fusion of Creole, Indian, Chinese, and French Flavors. Whether you’re exploring its historical towns, relaxing on its tranquil beaches, or immersing yourself in the local culture, South Mauritius offers a rich and diverse travel experience.
