Tamarind falls also known as the 7 cascades is one of the most attractive and captivating waterfalls of Mauritius. Situated on the central plateau near a small village called Henrietta, 7 cascades is well known for its splendid green scenery and valleys. The 7 cascades hiking is a must while visiting Mauritius. Exploring the waterfalls means walking in the dense forest, hiking and swimming.

We organised our guide Wesley at short notice and he was friendly and efficient straight away meeting us an hour after we called him to start the hike at Henrietta. It’s essential to take a guide on this walk so that you get the local knowledge, don’t get lost and stay safe as you navigate the sometimes tricky and steep terrain. This hike has total wow factor with amazing views as you wind your way down the side of the waterfalls. Take time to enjoy the views. We had a half day and managed to the top of the 5th fall. Would recommend a full day to do it justice and ensure it’s not rushed. The highlights are the amazing views, swimming at the bottom of one of the falls and surviving the steep sections both on the way down and as you climb back up. Wesley was extremely helpful and informative ensuring we stayed safe and helping us get fantastic photos at every opportunity He’s easy to contact on whatts app +230 5718 4966 , highly recommended him.

Last week my mother came to visit me in Mauritius and just before she left to come back in Switzerland I took the opportunity to visit the Mauritius Glass Gallery to buy a gift for my brother: the famous glass of Phoenix, the most famous local beer in Mauritius. The Mauritius Glass gallery is located in Phoenix, a town in the Plaines Wilhems district, the central part of the island. The island is not big so whether you are in the north, south, east or west you will always arrive at the big roundabout of Phoenix and you will immediately realize that you almost arrived because there is always traffic there (I advise you to avoid rush hours because the road is literally BLOCKED). Once you arrive at the roundabout, you will see the huge building of the Phoenix Beverages, at that point follow the road signs to go south (The South / Curepipe) immediately after leaving the roundabout, you should take the second street on your left where you will notice already marked MGG (Mauritius Glass Gallery). At the entrance they will ask you to pay an entrance fee of 100 Rs (about 2.50 euros), which are donated to charities, so as you will not only see something very interesting but you will also do a good deed! The staff is extremely kind and will quickly explain the things you will visit. The main entrance and the entrance of the museum are separated by a wall, which I liked very much and is clearly built from recycled bottles of....Coca Cola! The first thing you will see during the visit is the gallery of molded hands of famous personalities divided into different categories: writers, sportsmen and TV personalities. The room is a little dark but gives the right setting to the whole room, in addition to the many hand molds you will also find several glass creations such as chairs, tables and mobile art. The visit continues in the hall of distorting mirrors. Nothing special, but my mom had a great time in front of the mirrors, I guess if there were a group of kids there they would have stayed in front of every mirror for several hours laughing. Leaving the corridor of mirrors you will find yourself in the atelier where you will see the most interesting part of the museum. Here you will see the glassworkers in action and you will be impressed of how the guys manipulate the glass, it looks so simple as children with the clay but in reality it isn't. At the end of the visit you will find the shop where you can buy the creations of the Mauritius Glass Gallery artists. Not only local souvenirs but also home decoration, plates, glasses, bottles and above all... the famous Phoenix mug ( that costs 395 Rupees that I have been looking to buy since a long long time (you can also have your name engraved on it with additional 50 Rs.) Monday - Friday: 8 am to 5 pm Saturday: 8 am to 12 Closed on Sundays and public holidays
