📍 Chamarel Seven Colored Earth Geopark

From Tamarin Bay, it was about an hour's drive to the geopark taking a scenic route along the southern coastline of the island. The ocean along this stretch appeared noticeably deeper blue, something that caught our attention and later influenced our plans for the next day. On the way, we stopped at a local bakery and picked up some food, which ended up being both our breakfast and lunch for the day.

We reached the park at around 11:30 a.m. The entry fee wasn’t included in our trip, so we purchased the tickets at the entrance before heading in. Our first stop was the Chamarel Waterfall, after which we hiked towards the Seven Colored Earth.

The place truly lived up to its reputation. The dunes, with their distinct layers of seven different colors - red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow - looked almost unreal and were fascinating to observe. Right beside the dunes, there was a small enclosure with giant tortoises, some of which were more than 150 years old.

We spent around forty-five minutes exploring the area, taking pictures, and simply soaking in the uniqueness of the place. On our way out, we stopped by a small gift shop inside the park and picked up a souvenir to remember the visit.
