Tsaratanana trekking

While Tsaratanana trekking, the ascent of Maromokotro peak, which rises to 2,876 meters in the heart of the Tsaratanana massif, is much more than a simple hike, it’s a true expedition to the highest peak of Madagascar. This hiking in the north of Madagascar, which begins amidst the bustling cocoa plantations of Ambanja, quickly plunges the traveler into total isolation, where nature reclaims its domain. It’s a human and sensory adventure tour that harmoniously combines the discovery of the North natural sanctuaries, endemic biodiversity and impenetrable dense and humid forests with a deep immersion in local cultures. Passing through remote villages, the hiker discovers an ancestral way of life dictated by the rhythm of the mountains and the respect for sacred lands.
This journey thus becomes a true human discovery, where each encounter enriches the trekking experiences.
