Mauritius. Rochester Falls is the waterfall on the Savanne River with water dropping down from a height of about 10 m (33 ft). Constant erosion has fashioned the basalt rock into upright columns. The access to the falls is via a single-track muddy road (not advisable after a rain). Totally worth it!
thank you, Nikolay! I have to tell you about what happened while we were there :) to get in front of the waterfall we had to cross the river downstream (via stepping stones, piece of cake!). within minutes after that (i only managed a few shots) the river swelled up and the trickling waterfall became a roaring wall of water. we had to quickly retreat wading knee-deep in the fast current (those stepping stones were nowhere to be seen!). now thinking about that i feel it was the best part of my holiday :)
