Exploring the Tsingy

---

The Tsingy National Park, is a World Heritage Site and well worth the trip if you ever get the chance!

I say that because we ummed and arrred about going because of the cost of the 4x4 necessary to get there, but were very glad we did.

They are basically a huge collection of amazing limestone pinnacles. The Petits Tsingy around 40-50 feet high and the larger Grands Tsingy another group 20Km north which are more like 100-150 feet high.

We spent 2 days climbing on, around and squeezing through these bizarre, sharp and tuneful rocks (they rang like metal when hit).

The park is basically dry when open in winter, but closes in December for half the year due to the heavy rain which makes the place inaccessible and helps carve some more weird shapes.
