    While Madagascar is a land of extraordinary cultural richness. It's a place where in many areas taboo and tradition take precedence over the law; and western-style religion is freely mixed with beliefs in sorcery and unparalleled funerary customs. Attending a famadihana (traditional exhumation and reburial) or a traditional circumcision ceremony can be the highlight of a trip.
