Long
ago, rivers carved out deep narrow canyons, dug out caves and smoothed
over the rough places in Tsingy valleys, creating a fairytale landscape.
The area is calcareous deposit which was formed in the Jurassic
era and partially covered by forest. Once near the karstic relieves,
you proceed on foot to discover deep crevasses hollowed out by water
that marks this lunar like valley , a landscape that seems to belong
to another planet.
Exceptional trip of high sensation, adventure and exotism!
