The town of Andapa is located between two nature protected areas, Marojejy National Park and Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve, which include perhaps the most remote rainforests on the island.
The town is situated within the Andapa basin, named so due to the surrounding mountain ranges and relatively high levels of rainfall. The best times to visit Andapa are from April to May and from September to December when it rains less.
