Délaissée par ses habitants, le<br />
site est devenu une vaste zone<br />
d’habitat ancien recouvert, au<br />
fil du temps de sédiments.<br />

Ranohira is a rural municipality of more<br />
than 6000 inhabitants. It is located in the<br />
Ihorombe region, 700 kilometres from the<br />
capital by taking the National Highway<br />
7 (RN7) towards Fianarantsoa. It is a<br />
surprising commune, quiet in appearance but one of<br />
the richest of Madagascar. Its richness is that of its<br />
atypical history, that of the Andranosoa community<br />
site that its inhabitants had deserted to further seek<br />
their happiness.<br />
Sometimes a story needs several pages to write and<br />
the story of Andranosoa is one of them. Abandoned by<br />
its inhabitants, the site has become a vast covered area<br />
of ancient habitat, with sediments collected over time.<br />
But during a period of titanic rains, runoff cleared these<br />
sediments and revealed ancient strata, which have since<br />
become of great interest to archaeologists around the world.<br />
In this world that mixes old and new, the local population,<br />
dominated by the "Bara", demands your attention. Visit<br />
their fields of cassava and groundnuts and their zebu<br />
farms. Let yourself be surprised by cultural events such<br />
as rodeos where the natives come to compete with bulls<br />
in a makeshift arena, or the bare hands fights that are a<br />
demonstration of strength between men.<br />
Abandoned by its inhabitants,<br />
the site has become a vast<br />
covered area of ancient<br />
habitat, with sediments<br />
collected over time.<br />
