Tsingy Rouge, located in the northern region of Madagascar near the town of Antsiranana (also known as Diego Suarez), is a unique and striking geological formation. These red sandstone formations, known as "tsingy," have been sculpted by erosion over centuries, resulting in a dramatic landscape of sharp pinnacles and deep ravines. The vibrant red color of the rocks is due to the high iron content in the soil, which contrasts beautifully with the surrounding greenery. Tsingy Rouge is not as well-known as the famous Tsingy de Bemaraha, but it offers a similarly mesmerizing experience for visitors, with its surreal scenery and natural beauty.
