Highlights
Makay est un massif de grès qui représente la vie pour Madagascar. Il sert de réservoir d'eau du sud et de l'ouest de Madagascar. Plus de 20 rivières prennent leur source dans le massif.
Le paysage change presque tous les 100m. Vous verrez des canyons, des vallées, des montagnes, des forêts, du sable blanc, de la savane, etc.
Makay est l'une des rares zones inexplorées de Madagascar. Très peu de personne ont eu l'occasion de découvrir cette destination.
Il reste la meilleure destination pour ceux qui aiment les aventures, les randonnées et la nature.
Source of all rivers in the south-west
Landscape change almost every 100m
Panoramic view Mountain chain
Canyon, river, natural pool
