Antsirabe
The city is known about two things : the coldest and having the greatest number of pousse-pousse (rickshaw) in Madagascar. There are warm springs and a thermal bath, which was especially famous in the 19th century.
Tritriva & Andraikiba lakes
Lake Tritriva is a volcanic lake, located near the village of Belazao. The lake fills an extinct crater in a region notable also for the presence of many hot springs. It sits in the vent of an oval volcanic cone enclosed in vertical gneiss cliffs. The lake's water level drops during the rainy season and rises when the monsoon rains have ceased, it is an average of 160 meters deep.
