      We set off to the Amber Mountain, a long-extinct volcano covered by primary tropical rainforest, including craters and waterfalls. Located 40 km away from Diego Suarez, the park shelters a bewildering array of animals and plants that have specially adapted to thrive in this moist โ€™islandโ€™ of biological diversity. Lemurs, birds, chameleons, geckos, and immense rain forest trees, are among some of the natural wonders you will encounter. The altitude of the park is between 850 and 1 475 m, which allows for some beautiful panoramas of the Diego bay area.

      There is also a historical side to the 3 bays : at the end of the excurions, at Cap Minรฉ, one can see whatโ€™s left of the WWII cannons that were used during the Battle of Madagascar between the Allies and the Vichy-controlled military in Diego Suarez in 1942.
