Optical illusion of the underwater waterfall, Mauritius

One of the most beautiful islands of our planet keeps on its expanses an amazing sight - the illusion of an underwater waterfall, which from the height of the bird's flight has an incredibly spectacular view. An impressive natural anomaly, appearing in front of the air observer as a giant waterfall, is located off the coast of Le Morne Brabant, in the southwestern part of the island state of Mauritius.

An incredible optical illusion near the coast of the peninsula is due to the movement of silt sediments and sand under the influence of powerful underwater currents. Crystal-clear ocean waters in turn allow plenty to enjoy the opening picture, imitating a powerful underwater phenomenon. The bizarre cascades and whirlpools of the "sandy waterfall" seem to be moving to the very bottom of the ocean.

The natural anomaly is not far from the coast and it is best viewed from the air, going on a tour of the island by helicopter. The organization of such tours is operated by Air Mauritius. The cost of helicopter tours, depending on their duration and ranges from 300 to 1500 dollars. Those who can not yet make such a grand flight, have the opportunity to get acquainted with the unique attraction of Mauritius with the help of the Google Maps service.

 Amazing and Wonderful place. Everyone should know about this place, to go there one day and feel it all for yourself and see with your own eyes. Thanks a lot to the site http://udivitelno.com/ for kindly provided photos!
