From Rantranavoana to Antalaviana, the track runs along the rice fields and then approaches the dense lowland forest.
With a little luck, we will observe lemurs (Vary roux or Varecia ruba) and very small chameleons.

We cross a lot of rivers of all sizes and sometimes to the waist. Passing from one valley system to another, we end up on a dream beach not far from Antalaviana.
