A visit to La Vallée des Couleurs Nature Park

The visit of La Vallee des Couleurs begins with access to the Exhibition room which provides an outline of the different places of interest which you will discover through your visit. You will also enjoy the visit to the fern garden, without which any visit to the park would be incomplete - unless one wants to miss out on the beauty of tree ferns, wild orchids or other native flowers like the Trochetia (Boucle d’oreille/Ear ring) and the Bouquet Banané (Achna Mauriciana), which only blooms at the end of every year.

The unspoiled beauty of the land captures every heart and soul. The park is also home to tortoises, monkeys, stags, fish and birds such as the Pink Pigeon, Paille en Queue and Cateau Vert with various endemic trees like the Ebony, Bois de Natte, Takamaka and other rare plants also contributing to the beauty of the park.

Vallée des Couleurs Cascades (Waterfalls)

Cascade Vacoas, Cascade Bois de Natte, Cascade Cheveux d'Ange and Cascade Chamouzé are the four wonderful waterfalls where visitors can listen to rustling water; relax in natural intimacy and feel inner peace. The park also offers a captivating and breathtaking panoramic view of the South Coast.

The 23 Coloured Earth

The origin of the 23 Coloured Earth dates back millions of years after the volcanic eruption of the Bassin Blanc!

It is a phenomenon arising from volcanic activity and mineral deposits, unique to this beautiful spot on Earth.

The unique colours that can be seen at the 23 Coloured Earth are the result of a volcanic eruption when there is a high level of gas pressure, causing magma (molten rock deep within the Earth) to come to the surface. During the eruption, the cooling lava solidifies quickly and combines its chemical elements with silica structures into vitreous, small crystals. The chemical composition of basalt, ancient dark igneous rock, changes according to the conditions of the original magma (high pressure and high temperature gas saturation).

When exposed to the surface conditions, the mineral and chemical composition of the molten rock changes progressively. The weathering process that followed produced these different colours of the Earth that we can now observe.

You will have the opportunity to contemplate this fantastic piece of land on its many colors and discover firsthand this unique natural phenomenon.

What to Expect when visiting the Vallée des Couleurs?

The green vegetation, birds, Arthurium, green houses, deer park, endemic trees, beautiful prawn ponds, rivers and the multicoloured earth - all make the visit a must for all nature lovers.

A visit to La Vallée des Couleurs brings pleasure to all your senses; the songs of birds and the sound of water falling are music to the ears and the captivating and breathtaking panoramic views of the South Coast is a pure delight for the eyes.
