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.

Geography of Madagascar
GEOGRAPHY OF MADAGASCAR
The Big Island of Madagascar is cuted from north to south by a mountain range with an altitude ranging from 1000m to 1500m in the malagasy highlands. From the highland to the west of Madagascar on the Mozambique Channel side is the largest, occupied by low-lying plains.
On the other hand, from the highland towards the East of Madagascar on the Indian Ocean side, occupied by cliffs abruptly flattened on the coasts.
Indeed, the Highland altitude towards the East and the West has created a catchment basin of Madagascar and almost all the rivers and streams of Madagascar flow either in the east coast part or the west coast part.
The north of Madagascar is volcanic from a culminating point on Tsaratanàna to 2876 m altitude which is the highest peak of Madagascar.
The south of Madagascar semi-arid is divided into three parts such as the Southwest, occupied by uplands of limestones, the South point, occupied by the dry plains and the Southeast, by the Anosyan chains.
All these geographical characteristics condition a wide choice of theme travel in Madagascar.
