Tsingy de Bemaraha

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park and Strict Nature Reserve together cover 1,520 square kilometres in Melaky Region of western Madagascar. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, the park protects the world's most spectacular limestone karst landscape—the 'tsingy'—a surreal forest of razor-sharp limestone pinnacles rising up to 70 metres above forested canyons. The isolated plateau has acted as an evolutionary cradle, producing numerous species found nowhere else on earth.
