2026 Chamarel Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

The hiking itself medium difficulty and for us took 3 hrs with a 30 mins rest at the top (take water and hiking shoes). The view is amazing and windy, but be careful! We met another couple during our hiking and they were a little bit faster than us and they arrived earlier back to the start point. They were robbed by 2 masked man with big machetes and all their backpacks were taken (no mobile, car key, passports, nothing!!). They warned us as well to be carefull. Finally together we managed to get to our car and way down from the parking we found their backpacks next to the road; only cash was missing, good relief but I do not wish for nobody neither to be robbed nor to wait in the forest that maybe the machetes persons will come back! As this is an easy and abandoned place good for this kind of attack! #couplestrip#beachlife#naturalwonders#thingstodo#familytravel

The seven-colored soil is the most famous attraction in Mauritius. Walking along the road, you can reach the place where I dream. I have some homesickness. I heard that this land is very small. Is it because it was too beautified by TV when I was a child? Photographing on a cloudy day has always been my weakness. If I saw it, what about the pile of red clay? When I saw the seven-colored soil with my own eyes, I was a big sigh of relief. It was not too small here. I walked around it for one kilometer. The color of the soil is clearly visible, and even in a rainy environment, you can see the fascinating brilliance of yellow, scorpion, purple, red, and orange.
