Petits Tsingy
A small stone forest next to the village of Bekopaka, with an easy trail where you can explore rock crevices, caves, and viewpoints in two to three hours.
Petits Tsingy is located on the east side of the village of Bekopaka, on the north bank of the Manambolo River. It is an easy walk from the park reception center. The stone pinnacles are smaller than those in the Grands Tsingy, but they still feature narrow crevices, caves, ladders, and lookouts. The physical demands are low, making it suitable for arrival-day afternoons or travelers with moderate fitness. You often see Decken's sifakas and brown lemurs in the forest, and you can also spot the bottle-trunk plants found only in Madagascar. A park guide is required. If you have a day ticket, you can combine it with a dugout canoe trip.
