The mountain road winds from the village of Case Noyale to the coloured earths of Chamarel: a surprising series of dunes of contrasting colours.

Different shades of blue, green, red and yellow apparently result from erosion of the volcanic ash. The neigbouring waterfall of Chamarel rises from the native vegetation with a touch of rare beauty.
You can also enjoy typical Mauritian cuisine at one of the 'table d-hotes in Chamarel village.
