In this blog, we will explore five of these mysterious places in Mauritius.
1)Seven coloured Earths:-
The Seven coloured Earths are a geological formation and prominent tourist attraction found in the Chamarel plain of the Riviere Noire District in the South-western Mauritius. It is a relatively small area of sand dunes comprising sand of seven distinct colours approximately red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow. Nature has its own way of arouse our curiosity, and chamarel’s seven coloured Earth has something surreal to offer that will tickle your imagination. You will be impressed by the shades of colour and the harmony that characterises this place.
2)Le Morne Brabant:-
If we had to choose one out of the most surreal areas to have found a place on Earth it will surely be Le Morne Brabant area of Mauritius. Le Morne is a peninsula that is located at the extreme south western tip of the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Le Morne Brabant is also home to the famous underwater fall of Mauritius. The waterfall is a result of underwater currents, and sand and silt deposits moving along the flowof water creating the illusion of the fall. Its popularity has traveled the world and people come down here to experience the magic for real! The mountain in the area, listed as a prestigious UNESCO world Heritage site, Le Morne Brabant Mauritius is no short of magic, if not a fictitious painting. Le Morne is known for its epic sunrise and sunset views around the azure blue waters of the Ocean. With age old monuments and beautiful scenic beauty all around, this place is visited by zillions of tourists all through the year.
3)Le vortex De Riamble:-
The Vortex found in Mauritius is the first to be active. It is all greenery and waves crashing onto the shore. That is not, however, what makes the place extra special. As Sebastien Roussett, president of the Travailleurs de I’Amour association puts it, it is a place where one baths in regenerative energy. The cosmic energies which are found there will help with these changes taking place as much for the planets as for the humans. The Vertex works on the three bodies of a human being: the physical body, the soul and the mind. This is reflected in the phases you have to go through in this regenerative journey.
4)The Seven Pyramids of Mauritius:-
For several years, there’s been much debate about the origin and meaning of seven small pyramids identified on the South side of Mauritius on a flat plain known as plain Magnien. Remarkably, they are identical in Construction to the ones found on the Island of Tenerife, an Island on the opposite side of the Continent. This underlines the likelihood that one civilisation travelled to various islands off the coast of Africa and built all these structures. For the moment these seven pyramids are under the protection of the National Monuments Board of Mauritius.
5)The lost continent:-
The lost continent is part of a super continent known to scientists as Gondwana, which broke apart into Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica when the Indian Ocean was formed. The researchers are calling the newly found continent Mauritia. However, until recently, scientists had not known about the new missing continent that disappeared as a result of the breaking apart of Gondwana. A few clever geologists were able to measure crystals called zircons that had been expelled from volcanic eruptions on Mauritius.
In conclusion, Mauritius is a land of mystery and wonder, with several mysterious places that continue to capture the imagination of locals and visitors alike. From the underwater waterfall to the Seven Colored Earths, these mysterious places offer a glimpse into the unknown and provide a sense of awe and wonder that is hard to find anywhere else in the world.
