Bekopaka - Tsingy of Bemaraha National Park
After breakfast, another trip to Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is planned. The day will be dedicated to a thorough exploration of this extraordinary park. The entire reserve features numerous tourist trails with varying levels of difficulty.
The most impressive and also the most dangerous trail is located in the highest part of the park: the Grand Tsingy. Here, one can understand where the park’s name originates. “Tsingy” in the Malagasy language, spoken by the indigenous people of Madagascar, means “where one cannot walk barefoot.” Each rock, from the smallest to the largest, ends in a sharp point. This natural construction has protected the area from excessive human interference. The trail winds through sharp, narrow rock towers, and parts of the route must be traversed using hanging bridges secured between the rocks.
In the late afternoon, return to the hotel for free time to relax. Overnight stay in Bekopaka.
