The Pangalanes Canal, Tamatave, Madagascar. Built during the colonial era by General Joseph Galliéni to connect villages located in the forest and allow the transport of goods to coastal cities. Shaped by the hands of man, rivers, lakes and marshy plains have become navigable. The Pangalanes Canal connects the city of Mananjary to Toamasina, the first port of the big island. Four hundred and fifty kilometers separate the two cities. This river infrastructure allows travelers to admire the endemic fauna and flora of the region. This trip is a real pleasure for the eyes. During this river excursion, you can admire the magnificent landscape that extends along the canal. Lush vegetation both on the banks and on the water. The immersion is total! We just enjoy the show from the boat or on land during a stopover to visit a village. But, keep in mind that at the end of the journey there are beautiful sandy beaches.
