Chamarel Precinct

The 7 Coloured Earth Geopark & Coffee Factory

Nature has her own ways of piquing our curiosity and Chamarel’s Seven Coloured Earth is one of those surreal things that will make yours run wild. With its 600 million years of history, Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth is one spectacular Geo Park destination!

One of Mauritius’ most iconic attractions, the island’s original and premier geopark provides a unique experience for geology enthusiasts, nature lovers and those who simply want to understand more about this rare and impressive phenomenon.

Chamarel’s plantations extend over 16 hectares at an altitude of 280 metres above sea level. The coffee trees are planted between rows of palm trees to protect them from the wind and harsh sunlight. The trees flower in November, with the first summer rains, then produce bright red berries containing two coffee beans. The fruit is harvested by hand between May to September by a team of experienced female pickers.
