Isalo is similar to Colorado National Parks, yet in the heart of Malagasy Island
Isalo National Park is a protected area that covers an area of 81,500 hectares. It is highly appreciated by a large majority of visitors passing through Madagascar . In this unique nature of the world live fauna and an atypical and endemic flora . Forests of karst peaks with sharp pointed or rounded tips join the rug of green sometimes poor, sometimes luxuriant to allocate exceptional shades to the landscape. Frequent erosions gave rise to curious contours to rock formations. Here they imitate the silhouette of a woman. There, a few hundred meters away, they are like a giant turtle, a denuded skull or a crocodile, but the most spectacular remains the illustrious Isalo window .

Various managed tracks lead to well-defined directions. You can access it on foot or in a 4×4 vehicle. They allow you to discover picturesque sites that compete with endemic species of animals that make the park’s reputation. Deep canyons that snake in the valleys carry strange appellations, such as the "canyon of rats" or the "canyon of monkeys". Various aquatic animals such as rare fish, huge eels and crocodiles are moving home in these rivers.
The tranquillity that reigns in the Isalo massifs invites visitors to look into the contemplation of the wonderful panoramas and to honor the nature Lady. This is sometimes interrupted by the gazouillis of the Ankohoala , a race of rare bird, the cry of lemur catta or the shelling Boophis albilabris occidentalis , a species of red frog found only in Isalo. In the midst of these strange natural massifs, not shaped by the hand of man, each step and every step bring a thousand and a dazzling array that must not be missed.
