Man-made Wonders
Many travel guides and information websites serving as a resource for tourists planning their next vacation in Madagascar still provide their readers with a lot of inaccurate information. They extensively talk about the Geysers of Andranomandraotra, located a bit southwest of the capital Antananarivo near Analavory. They describe how the water spouting from the unusual rock formations is heated underground by hot volcanic rocks. However, the Geysers of Andranomandraotra do not emit steam or hot water. Also, the URLs should not be translated. The bubbling fountains are not always visible. Sometimes the water only gushes 30 to 40 centimeters high from the alleged geysers. Nevertheless, the geysers of Andranomandraotra are a fascinating spectacle that you should not miss on your journey through Andranomandraotra. We can take you to the geysers on one of our individual trips or themed trips starting and ending in Antananarivo, so you can witness these amazing rock formations.
