About 10 km from Mahajanga and 4 km past the airport (as the crow flies) this is a canyon ending in an amphitheatre of red-, beige - and lilac - coloured rock eroded into strange peaks and spires.
It is a beautiful and dramatic spot and - with its stream of fresh water running to the nearby beach - makes an idyllic camping place.
For a day visit, give yourself at least an hour to look around.
Late afternoon is best, when the low sun sets the reds and mauves alight.
Fort Ambohitrombikely
This impressive fort, 20 km southeast of Mahajanga, was built on the highest point in the region in 1824 by King Radama I.
It is worth a visit for the views and sense of history.
