The Tsingy de Bemaraha typically tops every traveler’s list of sites to visit in Madagascar. Inscribed by UNESCO, the focus of many geological studies, and even depicted in the film Madagascar as an impassable landscape, the Great Tsingy, as it is often called, certainly deserves the attention. It was even listed as one of Atlas Obscura’s Places to Wander in 2024.

But Madagascar also boasts a smaller, more obscure site in the north that contains a strikingly similar landscape.

It also happens to be red.

Furthermore, it happens to be the latest global feature of Atlas Obscura authored by Michael Ballard.
