    La Chapelle is one of the geological curiosities of the Cirque de Cilaos. Its natural shape resembles a cathedral made up of huge rocks that meet under which flows a waterfall creating a basin.

      Keep left to climb the valley. If you have water shoes you should take this. You can bath in the pool wonderful even if the water is very cold.

        Those who dare to swim in the ice-cold water can go into the back cave to the waterfall. There in the vertical sun grandiose play of colors. Plan your tour well - it's a narrow time window. Many arrive late or leave early.
        Don't forget a waterproof pouch for your smartphone. I had to swim with my phone between my teeth.
        Leave all equipment BEFORE the cave. The cave is completely covered with bird droppings. There is no place to park.
