Tsingy of Bemaraha and Morondava in detail

This week-long itinerary takes you along the West Coast of Madagascar between the coastal town of Morondava and the Tsingy of Bemaraha. Along the canal of Mozambique flow powerful rivers, the Tsiribihina, the Manambolo, coming from the Highlands. They dug wide grooves that cut through huge limestone plateaus, the Tsingys. In this beautiful and wide peneplain, the baobab is king, he punctuates the landscape with his slender and massive presence and the path of the Baobabs is an excellent representation of it. Our chaotic trail sneaks in the middle of this tree-covered Savannah, the red ribbon of laterite is simply cut by the two ferries to cross the rivers

This site is one of the most extraordinary ! The Tsingy are true cathedrals of limestone, this dense network of faults, crevices and blocks of limestone sculpted in Blades is one of the most spectacular landscapes of Madagascar.
The formation of this Middle Jurassic massif began 200 million years ago, the time when the sea still covered this region of Bemaraha. Then this huge plate of corals and shells came up. Exposed to the open air for 5 million years, the rain, with its work of erosion, sculpted the rest.
Among these wonders there are 6 species of lemurs, reptiles and 53 varieties of birds. It is also home to one of the smallest chameleon species, Brookesia perarmata.
