The Seven Coloured Sands

Chamarel is the home to the 7 coloured sand geological site. The earth is particularly unusual; created by volcanic rocks that cool at different temperatures, the earth form beautiful patterns of colour in the exposed hillside. Sometimes the colours play tricks on you and appear to be shadows

Since the earth was first exposed , rain had carved beautiful patterns into the hillside, creating an effect of earthen meringue.
