Rochester Falls, Waterfall in Savanne district, Mauritius.
Description
Rochester Falls is a waterfall in the Savanne district that drops about 10 meters through rocky sections of the Savanne River. The water creates a distinctive pattern as it flows over rectangular stone formations that shape the landscape.
History
The name comes from the colonial period, when it was inspired by a literary work from the 1800s. The surrounding lands were established during this time and continue to shape the landscape today.
Culture
Visitors come to this waterfall for different reasons - some drawn by the landscape itself, others by its connection to film productions. The surrounding fields and farmland show how agriculture has shaped the character of this area over time.
Practical
This waterfall can be reached from two different entry points - from the top or from the base. The paths lead through sugarcane fields and farmland, so wear good shoes and stay aware of your surroundings.
Did you know?
Over centuries, flowing water has shaped the cliff face into distinct rectangular blocks, creating a geometric pattern in the natural rock. This geometric regularity develops because water works along cracks and layers in the stone over a long period.
