It’s no surprise to anyone that the Malagasy people venerate the Zanahary. However, the myths surrounding these deities go far beyond simple beliefs; they reveal intriguing and sometimes little-known stories about creation and Malagasy spirituality. Did you know that, in the beginning, the Zanahary was believed to possess duality, being both masculine and feminine? This duality was symbolized by a primordial egg, which is said to have given birth to the sky and the earth. This tale highlights a worldview where balance and complementarity play a central role.

Mont Passot, the highest point on the island of Nosy Be, offers a spectacular panoramic view. This natural viewpoint allows landscape enthusiasts to enjoy an unobstructed view of the Mozambique Channel and, most notably, several of the 12 sacred lakes of this beautiful island.

Nosy Lonjo, also known as the "Sugarloaf of Diégo-Suarez," is located at the extreme north of Madagascar, at the heart of the stunning Diégo-Suarez Bay.

In the major cities of Madagascar, such as Antananarivo, it is not uncommon to see decorative sculptures that enhance the urban landscape (though, of course, it's anyone's guess whether murals should be thrown into this category). These works, which depict bush taxis, wooden airplanes, human figures, and various other motifs, reflect the artistic and cultural identity of the Malagasy people.
