“Met Baboo when he picked me up ar the hotel. It was a very sunny morning, so he picked the tour timetable for the most suitable way to enjoy it at the fullest. Went first to Chamarel and watch the tallest waterfall in Mauritius. Then, we went for the 7 coloured Earth, which was amazing by itself, mixed with giant tortoises. Awesome. Later, it was time to go to Black River viewpoint. Great timing as it was still very sunny, watching an amazing landscape where you see whole variety of green lush forests.
