Discover the Wonders of Geoparc y Chamarel with its New Mobile Application

Geoparc y Chamarel has launched its first mobile application, offering an educational journey full of information and geological facts about this unique site.

A Natural Wonder of the South

The lands of the 7 colors have always been a source of curiosity for Mauritians and foreign visitors alike. This natural phenomenon is linked to the volcanic activity of the island and the progressive change of the basalt rocky soil, resulting in the different shades of the earth’s color.

Thanks to the application and the new educational panels installed throughout the park, visitors can now enjoy this special site while understanding its specific characteristics. The application provides a detailed explanation of the formation of Mauritius, focusing on the volcanoes and the arrival of human populations.

“It is an immersive and interactive experience that awaits visitors. This mobile application offers a self-guided tour of our magnificent park, with interactive modules, quizzes, pictures, and maps, as well as audio guides and informative reading content.”
