Crater lakes, geysers and the Virgin Islet, at the geographic center of Madagascar
Three and a half hours from Tana along the beautiful RN1, Ampefy sits on the shore of Lake Itasy, the country’s third-largest lake. Old volcanic craters filled with lakes, plantations, traditional villages: the view from the heights is superb, and the Virgin Islet marks the geographic center of Madagascar.
