Antsirabe’s Volcanic Lake – A Must-See (But Skip the Hike!)

🌋 Tritriva Crater Lake This 160m-deep volcanic lake glows like a sapphire under the sun – photos don’t do its beauty justice! 😍 🚗 How to Get There From Antsirabe, take a tutu-truck (50,000 AR/~€10 roundtrip) Entry fee: 10,000 AR (~€2) Guide fee (mandatory): 50,000 AR for 4 people (we haggled to 40,000 AR) ⚠️ Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Skip the mountain hike! The "two-circle" route (lakeside + summit) is exhausting and unnecessary. The lakeside loop alone is stunning (and cheaper with guides!). 2️⃣ Guides = employment policy. Their English may be minimal, but they’re patient (helped carry bags, waited for photos). Treat them as friendly pathfinders! 3️⃣ Go early/late for soft light and fewer crowds. 💎 Why Visit? Mythic vibes: Local legend says lovers’ ghosts haunt the lake. Surreal colors: Jade waters change with sunlight. Easy access: Just 1.5h from Antsirabe! #MadagascarTravel #TritrivaLake #SkipTheHike #HiddenGem
