Ambohimahamasina is a village located 39 kilometres southwest of Ambalavao, in the Fianarantsoa Province, central Madagascar.
In Malagasy, Ambohimahamasina literally means 'at the scared mountain'. The sacred mountain, which is named Ambondrombe, is believed to be where all spirits of the dead reside.
Bordering a rainforest that stretches between Ranomafana and Andringitra, Ambohimahamasina has some beautyful scenery and many Betsileo villages, rice fields and cultural sites.
Basket weaving is a traditional skill practised in this area.
