| Antsirabe | |
|---|---|
 The town of Antsirabe is located in the highlands south of the capital Antananarivo and its cool climate made it a popular location for European missionaries. Today this colonial influence is still strongly felt in the architecture and churches of the town. The town is known for its gemstones and handicrafts produced in artisan workshops while the 'pousse-pousse' or rickshaw is seen all over town. West of Antsirabe are the beautiful volcanic lakes Lac Andraikiba and Lac Tritriva. | |
