'''Lily Waterfall or ''Les Chutes de la Lily'' is a waterfall full of legend located near the village of [[Ampefy]]. 4,5 Four and a half kilometres west from of Ampefy there is a junction with the sign to Lily Waterfalls on the leftside of the road. From there a dirt road in poor condition leads for another five kilometres to the waterfall, passing green farm landfarmland, numerous fields and a small village. Volcanic hills similar to those in a fantasy Teletubbies Land landscape frame the surrounding area.'''

In those days a [[Vazaha]] lived in Antafofo. He was the owner of a plantation and had a daughter named Lily. One day the girl had an accident by the river and disappeared. Although the entire village was searching for her she could not be found. Obviously the currents took the little girl away. The villagers decided to name the waterfall Lily in memory of the girl. Therefore, the river leading to the waterfall is also called Lily. <div style="largemax-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-19.031513, 46.684946~'''Lily Waterfall - Les Chutes de la Lily'''~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom=16|controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png}}</googlemapdiv> == Additional information == View all [[Lily Waterfall photos]]
