Mauritius is a volcanic island in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, ringed by an almost continuous coral reef. Calm lagoons suit swimming and snorkelling, while the interior rises into green mountains, waterfalls and the Black River Gorges National Park. Port Louis keeps a colonial market, and the village of Chamarel is known for its coloured earths.
