Parmi les mille merveilles de Madagascar<br />

Dans ce bassin sédimentaire, la nature vous réserve les plus beaux spectacles qu’elle ait pu<br />

produire. Vous avez devant vous des œuvres qui figurent sur la liste des mille merveilles de<br />

Madagascar.<br />

Imputée à une très forte érosion du sable ocre rouge, la formation des Tsingy Rouges est<br />

bien différente de celle de Bemaraha. Couvrant une superficie de 182 ha au cœur du plateau de<br />

Sahafaly, ces petits sommets ressemblent à de magnifiques châteaux de sable coniques formés<br />

de marne, de grès et de calcaire sculptés par le vent et la pluie sur un sol très fragile.<br />

Notez que toutes les couches de ce bassin possèdent une dureté différente les unes des<br />

autres. Les plus tendres ont disparu au fil des années sous l’action de l’érosion et des caprices de<br />

la météo. Les structures les plus résistantes sont restées et ce sont ces dernières qui constituent<br />

les Tsingy Rouges.<br />

Among the all thousand wonders of Madagascar<br />

In this sedimentary basin, nature reserves you the most beautiful spectacles that it could produce.<br />

You have before you works that appear on the list of thousand wonders of Madagascar.<br />

Imputed to a very strong erosion of the red ocher sand, the formation of the Tsingy Rouges is<br />

very different from that of Bemaraha. Covering an area of 182 hectares in the heart of the Sahafaly<br />

plateau, these small summits look like beautiful conical sand castles formed of marl, sandstone<br />

and limestone sculpted by wind and rain on very fragile soil.<br />

Note that all layers in this pool have a different hardness from each other. The more tender ones<br />

have disappeared over the years under the action of erosion and the vagaries of the weather. The<br />

most resistant structures remained and these gave the Tsingy Rouges.<br />

Enjoy sculptures shaped by erosion<br />

Due to the extreme fragility of the site, and to the delight of vacationers in<br />

search of a change of scenery, the combined force of the elements redraws<br />

these landscapes and geological structures over the years. The Tsingy thus<br />

regularly change forms, giving rise to colorful shows each time unique.<br />

To appréciate these fairy chimneys - as geologists nicknamed them - do<br />

not hesitate to change point of view. These sculptures shaped by erosion will<br />

unveil their thousand facets to each of your movements. From the top of a<br />

cliff to the bottom of the "Grand Canyon", the views are never the same and<br />

the pleasures either.<br />
