The North
Northern Madagascar alternates sedimentary basins with rugged relief, sandy coves protected by coral lagoons, and volcanic highlands culminating at Tsaratanàna (2,876 m), the island's highest peak. Amber Mountain (1,500 m) concentrates a tropical mountain climate with humid forests and waterfalls.
Between white beaches and lush forests, Diego Suarez bay ranks among the most beautiful in the world. The Nosy Be archipelago, 'the perfume island', is famous for its ylang-ylang plantations and marine life. The Ankarana and its underground tsingy shelter crowned lemurs and sacred rivers.
The perfume road
Ten days that begin with a coffee in Diego Suarez facing the Emerald Sea, climb into the mossy forest of Amber Mountain where crowned lemurs watch you, plunge into the underground rivers of the Ankarana, and end at sunset on Nosy Be, hands covered in ylang-ylang pollen.
