Early departure from the hotel to take 100km that lead to the Tsingy of Ankarana. Coming along in the middle of the morning and visit of the National Park . A discovery of the magnific and mythic landscape that are the "Tsingy"

There was 200 million years, this area was still concealed under the sea. Corals and shells were stacked and soldered for years, forming a huge plaque that raised up and came out of the sea.
Henceforth in the open air, the limestone was ripped for forming joints and canyons and also sharp picks. "Tsingy" means "walking on the tiptoes". The lightly acid rainwater has thus began a long erosion work as well as on the surface as in depth where it has galleries adorned with concretions.
The Ankarana owns the largest network of underground caves of Madagascar that extend about 120 km. These underground erosions shelter royal tombs, where the kings and the Antakarana people escaped during diverse inter-ethnic conflicts of the 19th century.
In spite of its chaotic and rough aspect, the Ankarana contains exceptional fauna and flora species that are able to satisfy the most demanding fanciers and also present a peculiar touristic interest.
It is the second site of Madagascar, after the Massif of Bemaraha, where you also could see those Tsingy.
