Despite the small size of the island state, it boasts a considerable number of diverse landscapes and attractions, among which tea plantations, beaches and waterfalls of Mauritius stand out.
Tamarin waterfall
It is better to go to the cascading waterfalls with a total height of 300 m with a guide (the approximate cost of services is 1,500 rupees). He will suggest starting an exciting journey from the observation deck next to the bus stop (tourists are brought here), and then gradually descend from the top to the base of the waterfall, where you can swim and go kayaking.
Chamarel Falls
The waterfall is formed by river branches falling from a 100-meter height into the crater of an extinct volcano (it is bordered by exotic vegetation). A visit to the Chamarel waterfall will bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also allow you to improve your health (this is facilitated by the mountain fresh air). Several lakes can be found nearby - it is recommended to swim in their waters on hot days.
In addition, the area where the waterfall is located is famous for dunes of various colors - these sands do not mix even under the influence of strong winds and downpours. It is worth considering that walking on the sand is prohibited (this area is fenced off, but special trails are provided for travelers, as well as observation platforms are equipped that allow tourists to enjoy wonderful views, and the best time for this is the morning hours), as well as taking it with you (for this purpose, souvenir shops have been opened, where you can get flasks with colored sand).
Underwater waterfall
The so-called underwater waterfall is an illusion (a powerful underwater current sets in motion a landscape that was formed by coral reef, deposits of sand and silt), which can be seen in the waters of the Indian Ocean.
Rochester Falls
This 10-meter waterfall is “hidden” behind evergreen trees. For tourists, shows for money are often arranged here - they consist in jumps to Rochester, which are performed by local residents, standing on basalt pillars of various sizes (they are the rocks from which water flows). Immediately, in hot weather, travelers will have the opportunity to swim in cool waters.
