Eureka Falls

The Eureka Falls, as the name suggests, are located near the famed colonial estate, Eureka Mansion, which can be found in Moka. A tour of the home itself is likely to be a spectacular experience, with historic colonial treasures strewn throughout the stunning structure, which is complemented by a magnificent and exotic garden.

The Eureka Waterfalls are a short distance from the mansion, and a trek down to them is well worth the effort for those who are physically capable. At the end of the journey, there are four waterfalls nestled among mango trees, palms, and an assortment of other magnificent tropical flora'. The river banks are natural homes for water lilies, often known as 'jacinte d'eau' or 'bredes songes'. Under the water's surface, an intensive marine life exists for the'scampi, madame Céré' (name derived from the governor's wife Céré), tilapias, carp, and eels, all of which may be found in considerable numbers.

The first two waterfalls are accessible by walking up the steep hillsides. The third waterfall, Bassin Diable, takes a short but arduous route to get it, but once there, you will be rewarded with a tranquil view of the flowing waters. The splendor and tranquility of these waterfalls are well worth the trip.
