TSINGY DE BEMARAHA
About 200 million years ago this unique landscape began to form. The limestone soil was pushed
upwards, creating a plateau that was hollowed out by the heavy rains and over the years took on the
present form of high limestone pillars.
The integral reserve consists mainly of canyons, ravines, pristine forests, lakes and mangrove swamps, all
of which have an amazing variety of fauna and flora. The rate of endemic species is about 85%, 47% are
even locally endemic animals! The western slopes of the massif rise more gently and are mainly covered
by dry deciduous forests, which are optimally adapted to the extreme climatic conditions. Also in the
north the limestone profiles describe rather gentle hills, while in the south extensive elevations limit
access extremely. In the middle of this difficult to access vegetation lies the beautiful Manambolo Gorge,
