The North
The North of Madagascar is formed by a sedimentary basin has a very torn relief where are nestled beautiful small sandy coves protected by lagoons of corals. Volcanic activities have created the highest peak of the island: the 2,876 m Tsaratanàna and the 1,500 m Amber Mountain which enjoy a tropical mountain climate characterized by heavy rainfall.
