Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar isn’t a National Heritage Site without reason. Over 200 million years ago, a limestone seabed rose to create a plateau in what is now Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park.
Over the years, heavy rain did its part in creating the natural masterpiece that is there now. The gorgeous rock formations make up a “vertical cathedral of limestone,” some of which are as tall as 328 feet. The Great Tsingy is perhaps one of the most intriguing formations. The word “tsingy” translates as “walking on tiptoes,” which is appropriate based on how many limestone needles occupy the park’s grounds.
