A visit to Le Trou Aux Cerfs, an extinct crater in the centre of the island is a must for its amazing views on neighboring towns and vast agricultural fields. Following this, we would visit the sacred lake of Grand Bassin also commonly referred to as the Ganga Talao. The largest fresh water reservoir of the island - Mare Aux Vacoas is also visited.
Not far from Grand Bassin, is the Black River Gorges National Park view point where one would enjoy a breathtaking view of the gorges merging with the Indian Ocean.
A winding road leads from Case Noyale village to the coloured earths of Chamarel: an undulating landscape of different and contrasting shades of colours. The different shades of blue, green, red and yellow are apparently the result of the erosion of the volcanic ash. The neighbouring waterfalls of Chamarel rise from the moors and the native plant life. The site possesses a rare beauty.
Some «Table d’hôtes» have been recently created in the Chamarel Village where you can enjoy the taste of typical Mauritian cuisine.
