THE NORTH AN AMAZING REGION
Description
From the beating heart of Madagascar. Indeed, the "City of Thousands" is at the same time the largest economic, political, historical and cultural pole. Antananarivo is a step not to be missed because it has an undeniable tourist attraction, which is not always discovered at first sight. The palaces, streets, squares and houses of the upper town tell a fascinating story then a drive and walk around the bay : the dunes and pigeons bays. Walk to Orangéa, along the beach of Ramena and the cliff, the pass leading to the Indian Ocean is very close. Walk to the lighthouse. We are here at Cap Miné. A place full of history where some vestiges of the French presence are still visible. Free lunch on the beach.
Return to the hotel in the afternoon and stop in front of the "Pain de Sucre" National Park of the Amber Mountain. In the company of the park guides we hike in the lush forest. This park is home to exceptional vegetation with tree ferns, palms, orchids, many exotic species while beautiful avenues of conifers along the trail to the forest station. Waterfalls, crater lakes embellish our walk. And of course, the Malagasy fauna with the friendly lemur. We meet the crowned lemur, the stanford lemur. 7 species share the area. We also meet chameleons, gecko and other uroplatus. The birds in the park are as numerous as colorful.
