Visit Cascades


The Cascades of Burkina Faso are one of the most beautiful natural wonders in West Africa. They are composed of a series of stunning waterfalls, lush vegetation, and sandstone cliffs. The cascades travel through the Sapouy and Bougouriba regions, making it a great place to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, and swimming.

A popular tourist destination is Kompienga Falls located in the Bougouriba region. Here you can take in the sight of two majestic waterfalls that crash into a deep blue pool surrounded by thick foliage. Another popular spot is Mouhoun Falls located in the Sokourani region which offers spectacular views from atop its towering walls.
