To travel to Madagascar, certain requirements must be met including having a passport valid for at least 6 months, obtaining a Schengen visa for $155, receiving the yellow fever vaccine, proving international health insurance and economic solvency, and making a hotel reservation. All documents must be sent to a specialized travel agency as Madagascar has no consular representation in Colombia. The recommended flight is with Iberia Aeroline which takes 23 hours over 3 connections in Frankfurt, Paris, and Antananarivo. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, separated from Africa by the Mozambique Channel, and visitors may be able to celebrate Madagascar's independence day from France on June 26th
