The Tsingy Rouge (Red Tsingy) is a stone formation of red laterite formed by erosion of the Irodo River. It was not before the middle of the 20th century when these sandstone needles were discovered: Due to area-covering slash and burn agriculture, landslides and erosions changed the face of the earth and brought the red Tsingys to the surface. Since the Tsingys are made of sandstone, they have been and will be eroded by weather and time.
