He doesn't use his phone while driving, so we felt safe. The seven colors of the earth are a must-see, :) with a superb waterfall in Chamarel. It's a good idea to use insect repellent. It's in the middle of the forest. At the Chamarel Rum Distillery, get ready to taste over 10 types of rum. :) Gorges Viewpoint offers a superb panorama over a wooded valley with a view to the right of the Alexandra waterfall. The monkeys are tame and…”
