The Avenue of the Baobabs, a dirt road that connects Belo Tsiribihina and Morondava in Madagascar, is bordered by dozens of ancient and rare baobab trees. This incredible setting is so gorgeous and unique that it promises to become the country’s first recognized natural monument. It is one of the most photographed places on the island due to these giant dry season transitory trees, some of which are over 800 years old and feature trunks that are more than 150 feet in circumference.
They were once part of a thriving forest, but are now all that remains, and their existence is thanks to the preservation efforts of several organizations. Avenue of the Baobabs
