The Geological Marvel Behind the 23-Coloured Earth
A true wonder of nature, the 23-Coloured Earth is the result of millennia of volcanic activity, mineral deposits, and natural erosion. As lava cooled and weathered over time, minerals like iron and aluminum settled into distinct layers, forming the mesmerizing ripples of red, purple, yellow, and blue seen today. Unlike ordinary soil, these mineral-rich formations resist erosion, maintaining their vibrant hues despite rain and wind. The shifting sunlight enhances their brilliance, making every visit a unique spectacle. This rare phenomenon is one of Mauritius’ most fascinating geological treasures, offering a glimpse into the island’s volcanic past.
The Best Time to Visit for the Most Vibrant Colours
