Seven Colored Earths

Mauritius | Duration: 4h | 5
 You can reach this most photographed place on the island only via narrow and winding paths leading around coffee plantations

Unique earth coloring with a complete set of rainbow colors, which was created by the transformation of basaltic lava into clay minerals. This relatively small area of sand dunes consists of sand of seven different colors (approximately red, brown, purple, green, blue, purple and yellow) and is beautifully shaped, creating a clay blanket effect. A small hill surrounded by dense undergrowth, as if consisting of frozen colored waves - blue, pink or sandy. During wind, air movement transforms the waves into rainbow chaos, but then everything falls back and an invisible hand gives each colored grain its place again.
