In the afternoon, drive to Baobabs Alley. Afterwards, you will visit the village of Mangily. This is an example of sustainable tourism, with the regeneration and protection of the surrounding mangrove forest. The forest also helps to replenish the crab and prawn populations along the coast.

On the first day, we venture out by pirogue and on foot to reach the canyons and labyrinths. We then set off on a hike to the small Tsingy d'Andadoany. Then, on the second day, after 17 kilometres of track, we'll head off to discover the large Tsingy. This is where you'll find wide open spaces, vertigo and great sensations.
