Lily Waterfall or Les Chutes de la Lily is a waterfall full of legend located near the village of Ampefy. 4,5 kilometres west from Ampefy is a junction with the sign to Lily Waterfalls on the left. From there a dirt road in poor condition leads for another five kilometres to the waterfall, passing green farm land, numerous fields and a small village. Volcanic hills similar to those out of Tele-Tubbi-Country frame the surrounding area.

After a 1,5-hour walk one reaches the idyllic village of Antafofo, which lies directly at the 23 metres high waterfall. The village offers several small Malagasy restaurants. A tiny power station supplies parts of Antafofo with electricity. Kids and women offer carved lava /coral rocks as souvenirs.

The legend about the waterfall dates back about 40 years.
