Fizono (also called Fizoana) is a very small [[Betsimisaraka]] village located on the [[Masoala]] peninsula in the east of Madagascar. As there are no roads on the peninsula, the village can be reached only by foot. From [[Maroantsetra]] it takes about 1,5 hours by pirogue and thereafter 5-6 hours by foot, depending on the physical fitness and pace.
