Manahoro

Manahoro lies in the country of the southern Betsimisaraka on Madagascar's eastern coast, north of the mouth of the Mangoro River. The Mangoro rises in the central highlands and follows a long valley between escarpments before turning east to the Indian Ocean. It is the largest river of Madagascar's eastern slope by basin and flow. Its wooded hinterland and coastal lowlands have long formed part of the Betsimisaraka country.
