Mauritius is world famous for its stunning beaches, lagoons, and pleasant weather. However, the Indian Ocean island has many more sights beyond its beaches, from waterfalls and rainforests to wildlife and hiking trails. For instance, tourists can hike the lush trails of Black River Gorges National Park, a majestic rainforest that offers breathtaking views of the country. They can also take in the sights of the surreal rainbow sands of Chamarel’s Seven Colors of Earth, a geological formation of dunes with seven different colors of sand. Visitors can stroll through the historic Pamplemousses Botanic Garden or shop and dine at Le Caudan Waterfront. Spiritual sites like Grand Bassin and cultural gems like Chinatown offer insight into the island’s heritage, while local markets in Flacq and Port Louis brim with flavor. For thrill-seekers, a speedboat cruise to marine parks and shipwrecks offers adventure.
