We arrived at Chamarel shortly before sunsent. In the blazing sunshine the colours of the earth sang out in beautiful radiance and sheer vibrance. As the sun began to set and the light changed the colours took a different tone and it was truly breathtaking. I recommend anyone to go to Chamarel and not be wowed by this natural wonder. more
