New Mauritius excursion • In the South West part of Mauritius, in the heart of a fertile valley, lies the Rhumerie de Chamarel. Situated in the vicinity of the “Coloured Earths”, one of Mauritius’ most popular tourist attractions, the road leading to the Rhumerie is lined with plantations, including sugar cane, growing side by side with pineapples and other tropical fruits. Exuding an inimitable sense of warmth and authenticity, the Rhumerie welcomes guests for an all-encompassing tourism experience ranging from a guided visit of the distillery and rum tasting to a tasty meal at l’Alchimiste, its own stylish and creative restaurant. This unique new attraction has been very tastefully conceived, while reflecting many elements of early sugar factories.
