West of Mauritius

Martello Towers
The Martello Towers represent the scene of the ancient rivalry between old colonial powers and the ingenuity of mankind. They are a milestone in the island’s history; they symbolise the end of slavery and the beginning of Indian immigration.

Chamarel
A winding road leads from Case Noyale village to the coloured earths of Chamarel: an undulating landscape of different and contrasting shades of colours.

The different shades of blue, green, red and yellow are thought to be the result of the erosion of the volcanic ash.

The neighbouring waterfalls of Chamarel rise from the moors and the native plant life. The site possesses a rare beauty.

Some Table d’hôtes have been recently created in the Chamarel Village where you can enjoy the taste of typical Mauritian cuisine.

Salt Pans
Due to the exceptional high level of sunshine the district receives,
Tamarin is naturally the heart of salt production in Mauritius.

Casela
Situated in the Rivière Noire district, the bird park stretches over 25 hectares and contains more than 140 bird species from all five continents. Other attractions include fish ponds, tigers, tortoises, monkeys, deer and orchids.

Yemen

You will be able to get close to the herds of deer, as well as admire some splendid species of Mauritian fauna. A few rustic kiosks available in the reserve provide an unobstructed view of the sea. There you can sip a local punch while watching the sun going down.

Caudan Waterfront
