Itinerary description

At the entrance there is a man from the tourism ministry demanding 2000 CFA entry fee. There are young "tour guides" that will lead you for a steep price. They will show you videos of waterfalls, but those waterfalls require a long motorcycle ride and might not even exist.

At this location you will find a drizzle of water most of the year, because of the electricity generating dam that was built at the top. It blocks most of the water except for a few months when it is opened.

A few hundred meters in you can see the base of the waterfall, while we were there a group as practicing some voodoo, naked, so we had to wait a while to get close to the water.

Then we walked up the side of the mountain, which has impressive farming at a steep angle. At the top is a lake with a dam.
