La Table (Tsinjoriake)
La Table
A flat-topped limestone mountain just outside Toliara. A short hike to the summit gives you views over the coastal plain and the city, and the sunset is especially beautiful.
La Table is a flat-topped limestone mountain on the RN7 just before you enter the city. It gets its name from its tabletop shape, and the local community conservation area calls it Tsinjoriake. The trail from the foot of the mountain takes about 30 to 45 minutes to reach the top. Along the way you pass spiny forest and succulents. From the summit you have wide views over Toliara, the Onilahy River mouth, and the Mozambique Channel, and the sunset is especially spectacular. It is right next to the Arboretum d'Antsokay, so you can visit both on the same day. There is a community entry fee, and it is a good idea to hire a local guide.
