DESTINATIONS<br />
Since the waterfall was<br />
discovered by priests, it was<br />
named the "Cascade of Good<br />
Fathers". It is one of the most<br />
beautiful waterfalls on the<br />
Big Island, with a difference in altitude<br />
of more than 80 metres shaped like a<br />
succession of natural bathtubs. Do not<br />
hesitate to bathe here. No wonder it<br />
is one of the most visited sites in the<br />
northern part of Madagascar.<br />
The route that leads to the waterfall<br />
runs along the Sambirano River and<br />
allows you to discover the Upper<br />
Sambirano, one of the agro-economic<br />
centres of the region. Huge cocoa<br />
plantations, rice fields and small<br />
villages with a water tower can also be<br />
seen here.<br />
Also notice the organization of life<br />
by the villagers of Ambobaka and the<br />
green landscapes of the mountains<br />
and banks of the river. Ambobaka<br />
has a reputation as the mecca of<br />
traditional medicine. A number<br />
of healers practise the ancestral<br />
knowledge which combines natural<br />
plants and massages (the medicinal<br />
garden also deserves a visit). In the<br />
afternoon, return to the route via<br />
the Ambanja Bridge and admire<br />
the beautiful twilight setting on the<br />
Sambirano River.<br />
Cette cascade aurait<br />
été découverte par<br />
des prêtres d’où son<br />
nom de «cascade<br />
des bons pères ».<br />
