Come and enjoy a beautiful trek to the Tamarind waterfalls. See the true beauty of the natural park, visit the waterfalls and experience firsthand, their immense power.
The Tamarind Falls (also known as Tamarin Falls) are a beautiful attraction of the southwest of Mauritius. These falls are awkward to reach, but no doubt, it's worth the effort.
This trip begins as for the trek from Le Petrin to Grande Riviere Noire. Follow the forestry road for just over 2km. Take the right fork and continue for another 500m or so to second fork in the road. To reach Tamarind Falls, you must follow the left fork, the right will lead you to the road which connects the Curpipe-Chamarel road with Mare longue reservoir.
The route is easy throughout, with no steep or tricky bits, often following a scenic ridge. It's mostly forest along the way, with good views, then it descends into more open terrain near the resorvoir. A detour at the end around the seven waterfalls of Tamarin is worthwhile and there is a trail which drops down to the base of the falls. For this walk, allow around three hours, more if you want to explore the falls area.
No doubt this is one of the most beautiful and calmest places in Mauritius, and one of the best places for nature and animals lovers, and for finding exotic plants and birds.
The whole excursion is a full day trip, giving you enough time to enjoy the view and to relax.
