La Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park

Since the 23-coloured earth was discovered on the 4th of July 1998, La Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park has become one of the most famous and unique attractions of the island, fascinating Mauritians and foreigners alike. Nature lovers are bound to love this place; it is quite a unique experience with the indigenous fauna and flora that abound in the park. Visitors are treated with a range of natural landscapes, including plateaus, mountains, valleys, craters and crater-lakes. The main attraction is the fascinating 23-coloured earth whose origin dates back to millions of years following the eruption of the Bassin Blanc volcano – its ashes, which bear witness to that event, are unique in the world.
