Rando vlog - La chapelle | Cilaos

A Water Chapel with Cathedral-like Resemblances This short, well-known hike near Cilaos offers the chance to admire the geological curiosity of the short canyon of La Chapelle on the Bras Rouge river, formed of volcanic rocks rich in alkali feldspar, trachyte. Bring a swimsuit and sandals to explore the interior of the Chapel, which is enclosed by a small pool of water with a fluctuating level, as indicated by the various mud marks on the walls. To admire the play of light from the ceiling reflected on the magnificent striated rocks, the ideal time is late morning. You can enter the tunnel formed by the nearly 100-meter-high boulders, but be careful of the slippery floor made by swiftlet or bat droppings. You can also approach the waterfall at the bottom if the water level isn't too high. This waterfall is visible from above by taking the dangerous exit from the bottom of the Bras Rouge waterfall. After this safe exploration, enjoy the numerous natural water slides and pools downstream from the trail that leads back up to Cilaos.
