The Avenue of the Baobabs, or Alley of the Baobabs, is a prominent group of Grandidier's baobabs (Adansonia grandidieri) lining the unpaved Road No.8 between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region of western Madagascar. Along a 260 m stretch of the road is a grove of 20-25 Adansonia grandidieri baobabs. An additional 25 or so trees of this species are found growing over nearby rice paddies and meadows. The trees, which are endemic to Madagascar, are about 30 m in height. The baobab trees are up to 2,800 years old. They are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar.
