Toliara, Madagascar
Known as the 'City of the Sun' for its relentless sunshine, Toliara (Tulear) sits on the semi-arid coast of southwestern Madagascar. The town's broad colonial boulevards and bustling central market are best explored in the cooler morning hours. The Arboretum d'Antsokay, just outside town, showcases the bizarre and beautiful plants of the spiny desert — baobabs, octopus trees, and thorny Didiereaceae found nowhere else on earth. The nearby Ifaty reef system is one of the world's great snorkeling destinations, and the Vezo fishing villages along the coast offer walks through communities whose lives revolve around the sea and their elegant outrigger pirogues.
