Rochester Falls

The famous Rochester Falls are located in Mauritius' Savanne area, around 2.5 kilometers from Souillac (South of Mauritius). It is also renowned as Mauritius's widest waterfall. One intriguing detail regarding the Rochester Falls' name is that it was inspired by Charlotte Bronte's work 'Jane Eyre,' which was released in 1847. The Domain where these falls are now located was given the name 'Rochester' during the colonial period. This magnificent waterfall is located in a remote, wild, and lush green location with distinctive and spectacular cliff faces that have been converted into jagged rectangular blocks by the force of tremendous water over hundreds of years. The falling waters of the Savanne River generate a thick froth as they descend from a height of 10 meters into the stony beds.

As captivating as it appears, this stunning location is great for a quick refreshing dip or a short picnic lunch. The stunning environment, flowing waterfalls, clear water pools, and lush greenery that surrounds the region make it a wonderful sight to witness and a calming experience. You may also encounter some courageous and adventurous natives eager to leap from far above the cliffs to a pool of water, which is incredibly risky and strongly discouraged.
