Chutes de Kota, Mountain waterfall in Atacora, Benin
The Kota Falls cascade down 100 meters through multiple tiers in eastern Atacora mountains, creating natural pools along their descent path.
The Kota river system has maintained a constant flow through underground water tables, supporting local communities and ecosystems for generations.
Local ethnic groups pass down stories about the falls through oral traditions, connecting their heritage with the natural landmark.
Visitors can reach the falls via marked trails from Natitingou, located 20 kilometers away, with guides available for navigation.
The falls support 133 different tree species from 34 families, including rare mushroom species found only in this region of Benin.
