Mauritius is filled with mystical waterfalls that are just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed, and one of them is the famous Chamarel Waterfall! Ask locals and visitors their favorite waterfalls and this one will surely make its way to the top of the list! This waterfall holds both historical and natural significance for Mauritius as it showcases old volcanic formations of a few million years along with the most beautiful natural phenomenon of falling water. The waterfall is sourced by River Saint-Denis that streams its pure waters along the proximate villages and gently snakes its way to form a magnificent waterfall. Swimming is permitted at the base of the falls!
