Illusional Waterfall, Underwater geological formation near Le Morne, Mauritius.
Ocean currents transport sand deposits along the shallow coastal regions into deeper water, forming a submarine effect visible from aerial perspectives.
The formation sits near Le Morne Mountain, which provided shelter to escaped slaves during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
Local communities maintain oral traditions about the geological formation, connecting it to stories of marine navigation and environmental patterns.
Helicopter tours operating from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM provide optimal views of the underwater sand movement patterns.
The sand flows down a submarine cliff that descends 2.5 miles deep into the Indian Ocean, creating an optical illusion.
