Near the village of Chamarel in the southwest of the island of Mauritius. It is a tourist attraction and is privately owned.
The area is touristically developed and is considered one of the main tourist attractions. For the visit entry is required. The arrival is due to the relatively secluded location primarily by bus or taxi. It is cashed in front of the only parking and turning possibility. Buses and taxis park in a large car park just a few meters from the seven-colored earth and the associated tourist infrastructure. Entering the rock surface is prohibited.
The seven-colored earth can be viewed as part of a helicopter flight of the Air Mauritius from the air and is an integral part of the one-hour Mauritius round trip.
In the immediate vicinity is the also privately owned, touristically developed waterfall Cascade Chamarel.

OK for a stopover if you're heading into Ebony Forest anyway. The combination of the different highlights is definitely recommended.
