One of the best hiking spot to go in Madagascar. We have done 3 days of trekking of about 35km long there and it was just amazing. There are landscapes of all kind, from amazing waterfalls, mind-blowing mountains, deep valley and incredible land of rock. You can climb the 2nd highest mountain of Madagascar which reach 2630 meters high and will get you right above the clouds.

The local guides are very kindhearted and knowledgable about the park. I really enjoyed listening to them playing local music...

One last thing : if you have hiking gear you don't need, you can leave them to the...

On the second day we did a sunrise hike to the second highest summit in Madagascar. Totally worth it! There are not that many animals. We saw lots of Chameleons and a few birds. You would not consider it cheap but it was a...
