Mauritius, one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean, is close to Mozambique and Madagascar. The island is home to stunning beaches and some of the rarest animal and plant specimens in the world. Mauritius was first discovered in 975 AD by the Arabs, then by the Portuguese between 1507 and 1513. It was also colonized by Dutch, British and French. However, later on it became a republic. The beautiful island contains substantial populations from China, South Africa, Great Britain and France.

Mauritius has also one of the most amazing sights in the world, The Underwater Waterfall. Although an underwater waterfall is not possible, it certainly looks like one. The waterfall is, in reality, an optical illusion formed by a run-off of silt deposits, Daily Mail Online reported. The magnificent optical illusion is visible from a bird’s eye view. In fact, the illusion can be seen on Google Maps.

Have a look at these mind-blowing pictures.
