The most beautiful natural sites to discover Antsirabe

About 18 km from Antsirabe, Lake Tritriva is a large and rather mysterious crater lake, whose shape evokes the map of Mada: very deep (about 160 m), it would be crossed by currents; its level would vary with the seasons. Captain Cousteau had dived there to try to understand the strange phenomenon of siphons that make the level of the lake fall in the rainy season and rise in the dry season. It is possible to reach the lake by motorcycle, mountain bike (Rando Raid organizes a 40 km loop), taxi-brousse and even on foot for the most motivated!

The lake Andraikiba, located at 7 km from Antsirabe, was appreciated during the colonial period. On foot, you can walk along the lake, in a bucolic setting. It is said that a prince lived here, and that he could not choose between two young women. So he proposed a challenge: the one who would cross the lake the fastest would become his wife. Unfortunately! One of them, pregnant, couldn't make it to the end; in despair, she shouted "Kiba!" ("I'm sinking!") and disappeared under the waves. Since then, it is whispered that the spirit of this beautiful princess is prowling around.
