Tsingy de Bemaraha

Tsingy de Bemaraha is one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth - a UNESCO World Heritage Site of razor-sharp limestone pinnacles rising up to 100 meters high. The name "tsingy" means "where one cannot walk barefoot," and the formation is the result of millions of years of erosion carving ancient coral reefs into needle-like towers.

Beyond the stunning geology, the tsingy harbors unique ecosystems in its canyons and caves. Eleven lemur species live here, including the rare Decken's sifaka, along with endemic birds, reptiles, and hundreds of plant species. Via ferrata routes and suspension bridges allow visitors to explore the pinnacles at dizzying heights.

April to October during the dry season when the roads are passable and the limestone is safe to climb. The park is completely closed during the wet season (November-March) due to flooding and impassable roads.
