Madagascar...Red island

One of the largest islands in the world, the island continent, Red Island ... all these images of Madagascar hide the sanctuary of a unique nature and a mosaic of people from migration.
In Madagascar, the variety of landscapes, people and their origins set the tone. Inside the country, the land gradually become bare, the rivers carry the red laterite while the hills and traditional mud houses are the charm of the Highlands. On the East Coast, rain, winds and the memory of European pirates give this green nature a story to Joseph Conrad. Further south, the landscape saw the thorny bush and semi-desert. In western distant Mahajanga displays its Muslim influence, while the savannah dotted with baobab recalls Africa. Finally, at the northern tip of Madagascar, Diego Suarez keeps track of the last outpost of the French colonization.
Madagascar is also the land of the ancestors. Malagasy cultivate the traditions of people from Indonesia and Africa, who sailed up together to form a twenty ethnic groups whose customs fascinate budding ethnologists.
The island has developed species of plants and animals unique to the world, including lemurs.
While there are signs that perhaps the beginnings of development, the country is still not ready for mass tourism. Here, the famous mora-mora ("slowly") is required.
