Alley of the Baobabs, a notorious tourist attraction in the west of Madagascar

Very close to the town of Morondava stands a surprising and unique site in the world answering the name of the Alley of Baobabs or Avenue of Baobabs. This name indicates a large plantation of these mythical trees, become endemic and patrimonial symbols of the big island. The site in question forms a national heritage in its own right, which has become a nature reserve and a protected area since 2007.

What can we discover?

The main attraction is certainly the Baobabs, giant trees of more than 30m which are distinguished by their atypical appearance in the shape of an inverted bottle. At first sight, one can imagine that their roots were planted in the air and not buried under the ground. A legend testifies that the gods were angry at these trees that they decided to cultivate them upside down.

What's fascinating about these trees is their ability to go back in time. Indeed, more than a thousand centuries old, these baobabs remain intact whatever the circumstances in which they live. Weather or climate change, their age increases but their splendor and originality remain timeless.

At the heart of the site, visitors can see the Sacred Baobab lining the driveway. This is a rare specimen that the locals devote immeasurable respect to him. Many people come regularly near this tree to offer offerings or to ask for the blessing of the ancestors.

Adansonia grandidieri, a species endemic to the Big Island, also forms one of the most prominent Baobabs of the site by its age and size.

Baobab lovers are also in the place. They are distinguished by their original entanglement, similar to two people in love hugging each other. This name is atypical because of the appearance of trees. But on the other hand, they endorse a sacred label that, according to local beliefs, can bring luck to couples.

Due to its geographical location between Belo sur Tsiribihina and Morondava, the Alley of the Baobabs is a popular tourist site offering unparalleled beauty. The best time of the day to contemplate the site is around 15h in the afternoon. Visitors can observe the different plantations and their particularities while waiting for the sunset, which is also an unforgettable moment not to be missed in the heart of this place.
