Ambohimanambola loop - Half-day mountain biking

Departure will be after about thirty minutes from the city center, not far from the banks of the Ikopa River. After 2 km of alternating old asphalt road and shaded dirt tracks, you will reach the left bank of the Ikopa for a very fast crossing in a canoe (around 30 meters). You will be able to see the trade of extracting river sand intended for construction use for the city. After crossing, you will continue on a wide flat track before joining a first cobbled climb and a series of climbs and descents. Then you take a magnificent single track overlooking the Ikopa river. You enter the wildest part of the circuit. You will first start with a descending section which will end with the crossing of a small stream before continuing with a long climb of around 3.5 km. At the top you will be at the highest point of the circuit. Then the descending part will be done on a single track before continuing on a flat part. At the end of the single track section you begin a long descent on a ridge. Finally at the end of the descent you will join a wider track before joining the banks of the Ikopa to take the canoe in the opposite direction and finish the remaining 2 km by bike
