→How to get there
A car ride from [[Tamatave]] to Maroantsetra along the RN5 takes about two days (400km) mostly on a very bad road, which is often closed due to cyclones from December to March. Coming from Antalaha, there is a 45km stretch to [[Andranoanala]] (Cap Est). During the dry season the ride takes about four hours by 4x4 car, while in the rainy season some bridges may be impassable and rivers must be crossed by pirogue.
Alternativelyand if coming by Tamatave, it is possible to reach Maroantsetra by sea if coming from Tamatave. Depending on the season, cargo boats leave three to six times a week from Tamatave. The journey by sea takes between one and two days.
