It is also known as the " stone forest of Madagascar " and for many, it is also considered the most... inhospitable in the world. The reason for the Tsingy National Park is that it is an impressive natural wonder located in Western Madagascar and covers an area of approximately 1500 sq.km.
In the southern part of the area is the Tsingy National Park, while in the northern part it remains a strict nature reserve. Tsingy means " where no one can walk " with the national park characterized by sharp limestone cliffs.
Monsoons, winds and floods sculpted these impressive rocks with the strange formations, caves and canyons that form beneath them.
Ropes and climbing equipment are needed to get through there, while there are also narrow passages and bridges for the less adventurous.
Tsingy is home to many rare species of animals, 11 different species of lemurs, at least 100 species of birds and 45 different reptiles hiding among its rocks. Tourists can access the national park by road from the town of Morondava, however it is not suitable for activities.
The area has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
