Formed less than 2 million years ago during the second phase of volcanic activity that shaped Mauritius, experts suggest the volcano is currently dormant but could become active within the next thousand years.

• Mare aux Vacoas - Mare aux Vacoas is the largest reservoir in Mauritius, situated in Plaines Wilhems, southwest of the island, south of Curepipe.

• Grand Bassin - Ganga Talao, commonly known as Grand Bassin, is a crater lake nestled in a secluded mountain area in the Savanne district, deep within Mauritius. Located about 550 meters (1,800 ft) above sea level, it is regarded as the most sacred Hindu site in Mauritius. The first pilgrimage to Ganga Talao was led by Pandit Giri Gossayne from Terre Rouge in 1898, with pilgrims from the village of Triolet. The Shiv Mandir, dedicated to Shiva, one of Hinduism’s principal deities, is located on the lake’s bank. Temples dedicated to other gods, including Lord Hanuman, Goddess Ganga, and Lord Ganesh, are also found along Grand Bassin. During Shivaratri, approximately half a million Hindus in Mauritius embark on a pilgrimage to the lake, many walking from their homes carrying Kanvars.

• Alexandra Falls - Alexandra Falls, hidden within the deep jungle of Black River Gorges National Park, resembles a scene from a movie.

• Black River Gorges National Park - Black River Gorges National Park, located in the hilly southwestern part of Mauritius, was established on June 15, 1994, and is managed by the National Parks and Conservation Service. Covering an area of 67.54 km², it includes humid upland forest, drier lowland forest, and marshy heathland. The park protects most of the island’s remaining rainforest, although much has been degraded by introduced plants like Chinese guava and privet, and animals such as rusa deer and wild pigs. Several areas have been fenced off, and invasive species have been eradicated to preserve native wildlife. The park is home to many endemic plants and animals, including the Mauritian flying fox and all of the island’s endemic birds: Mauritius kestrel, pink pigeon, Mauritius parakeet, Mauritius cuckooshrike, Mauritius bulbul, Mauritius olive white-eye, Mauritius grey white-eye, and Mauritius fody. BirdLife International has designated the park as an Important Bird Area (IBA).

• Rhumerie de Chamarel - The Chamarel Rum Distillery is an authentic venue where history, tradition, and excellence merge in crafting pure cane juice Mauritian rum. Rum distilleries are more than just places of alcohol production; they reflect a rich and diverse cultural heritage. The history of rum is closely tied to sugar cane, which has influenced many tropical regions worldwide. Each rum distillery has its own unique history, often rooted in age-old traditions passed down through generations. The artisanal methods employed in many rum distilleries showcase ancient expertise, carefully preserved despite technological advancements. Visitors have the opportunity to explore ancestral practices and understand the significance of sugar cane in the local economy and culture.

• Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark - The Seven Coloured Earths, a geological formation and popular tourist attraction, are located in the Chamarel plain of the Rivière Noire District in southwestern Mauritius. This relatively small area of sand dunes features sand in seven distinct colors (approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow). The main attraction is the surrealistic, striped coloring of the dunes, as the differently colored sands naturally settle in separate layers. Since the earth was first exposed, rain has sculpted beautiful patterns into the hillside, creating an effect reminiscent of earthen meringue.
