Tamarind Falls, 250-meter waterfall series in Plaines Wilhems District, Mauritius.

Tamarind Falls is a chain of seven cataracts on the Rivière Tamarin, in the Plaines Wilhems district of southwest Mauritius, about two kilometres northwest of the Mare aux Vacoas lake. The falls drop roughly 250 metres through the last patch of native forest on the island, a woodland listed as Mauritian heritage.

The falls lie on the Rivière Tamarin, two kilometres northwest of Mare aux Vacoas, the large lake on the Plaines Wilhems plateau. The river drops about 250 metres in a series of seven cataracts. The last stretch of native forest on Mauritius surrounds the falls and is listed as Mauritian heritage.

The falls sit in the last stretch of native forest on Mauritius, a woodland listed as part of the country's heritage. The name comes from the Rivière Tamarin, the river that feeds the seven cataracts. Visitors walking the descent pass this indigenous vegetation before reaching the pools.

The hike takes about three hours and requires sturdy shoes and plenty of water for the trail. A local guide helps you navigate safely to the different levels and makes the experience much easier.
