Port Louis

Mauritius is a spectacularly beautiful island where sandy white coasts lined with calm turquoise waters rise into emerald mountains. South of Port Louis, explore the multihued sand dunes known as Seven-Colored Earth and the cliffside cascades of Chamarel Waterfall, and then taste some of the island’s famous rum at a local distillery. To the north, the renowned centuries-old Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden displays giant water lilies, baobab trees and other rare tropical plants.
