Canyon des Singes
Mejor época para visitar
It is best to come during the dry period, from April to October, when the trails are passable and free of rain torrents. Set off early in the morning while the air is fresh, because noon out on the open sand can be scorching, and there is little shade.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry costs around 10,000 ariary per person, and local guides can be hired for a small sum and are almost mandatory since the canyon can only be reached by 4x4 vehicle. Bring cash and all supplies from the nearest larger settlement, as there are no shops or ATMs in the area.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: En los muros verticales de arenisca se conservan fósiles de dinosaurios y troncos petrificados, y entre los hallazgos hay fragmentos de huesos de más de 70 millones de años. Una grieta de dos kilómetros corta el bosque seco caducifolio donde viven lémures, aves endémicas y reptiles que no existen en ningún otro lugar del planeta.
Destacados: En el fondo del cañón, donde tras la lluvia se forman piscinas de agua turquesa, puede nadar en una piscina natural bajo acantilados de hasta 300 metros. Los paleontólogos han encontrado aquí nidos enteros de huevos fosilizados de dinosaurio, así que mientras camina mira las mismas capas de roca por las que los científicos buscaron durante siglos huellas de la vida prehistórica.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear sturdy hiking boots and long clothing, as the ground is rocky and dry shrubs easily scratch the skin.
- Bring at least three liters of water per person and a hat, as there is almost no shade on the trails.
- Take photos early in the morning or before sunset, when the red sand takes on a golden color and long shadows appear.
- Check your fuel reserve and tire condition in advance, since the road to the canyon goes through sandy shallows and stream beds.
