TSINGY is a true cathedral of limestone formed by a deposit of fossils and shells dead under the sea 200 million years ago, and subsequently shaped by rainwater 5 million years ago, is one of the most spectacular landscapes of Madagascar. 
Enter at the bottom of an impressive network of diaclases to see a surprisingly green landscape. The Great Tsingy spreads over more than 72 000 ha. 300 years ago, the Tsingy served as a shelter for the "vazimba", the first occupants of Madagascar.  This ancient city of the Vazimba has now become a sacred place for the inhabitants of the region. 
During this visit, you will discover a biodiversity unique in the world: nearly 90 species of birds find refuge there, both terrestrial and aquatic, including the famous Madagascar fishing eagle as well as many species of wild duck. The place is also home to no less than fifty different species of reptiles, most of which are endemic. But the most fascinating are especially the lemurs which live there in abundance.
