Separated from continental Africa by 250 miles of water, Madagascar is the greatest adventure you haven't had yet. The island nation's secrets include giant moths, bug-eyed lemurs and places such as the surreal Avenue of the Baobabs, where the centuries-old trees reach heights of nearly 100ft.
Some 7 km (4.3 mi) to the northwest are the Baobab Amoureux, which are two notable Adanosia Za trees—also an endemic baobab species—that have become twisted to each other as they grew.According to legend, these two baobabs came and grew together across the centuries. Baobabs found themselves after an impossible love between a young man and young woman of the nearby village. Both youths already had designated partners and had to marry separately in their respective villages. However, the impossible couple dreamed of a life and child together and asked the help of their god. Both baobabs were born and now live there for eternity as one as the couple always wished.
