Southwest Scenery

Our third and longest stay in Mauritius is 8 nights at La Gaulette, almost at the southwest tip of the island.  It is surrounded by spectacular scenery including the Black River Gorges National Park and Le Morne Brabant.

Chamarel is only about 15 minutes drive from where we are staying.  There are some amazing secrets tucked into the mountains.

The Seven Coloured Earths showcases an unusual phenomenon.  It was difficult to capture the full effect in a photograph.

Le Morne Brabant is located in the extreme south west of Mauritius on the Le Morne peninsula which is a UNESCO World Heritage area. This is the view from the International Slave Route monument.
