Seven Coloured Earth

The Seven Coloured Earth is a collection of sand dunes in the Chamarel region of Mauritius. They are a unique geological wonder where you can see seven distinct colours of sand that settle in a way that gives the appearance of stripes. It is also interesting to note that even with the tropical rains that fall in Mauritius, the sands never seem to erode.

The approximate colours of the sands are, red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow.
