A couple of walking minutes leaving Antsirasira upstream the Sambirano River, the river makes a huge turn. To reach the village of Marovato it is best to cross the river by foot or pirogue.
People living in this area are mostly cacao farmers. Their countless plantations stretch along the shores of the Sambirano River.
