Togo extends from the coast of the Gulf of Guinea to forested plateaus inland. The country contains several national parks, including Fazao Malfakassa and Keran, where elephants, antelopes, and numerous bird species live. The waterfalls at Aklowa and Kpimé cascade over multiple tiers through tropical vegetation. The Koutammakou region in the northeast displays traditional clay architecture with characteristic Tatas, fortified dwellings of the Batammariba people. In Lomé, German and French colonial buildings reflect the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, while local markets like the Marché des Féticheurs present traditional practices and commerce. Mount Agou rises to 986 meters and provides views across surrounding valleys and plantations. The coastal area includes sandy beaches along the Atlantic and Lac Togo, a lagoon used for fishing and water activities. Temple ruins and shrines are distributed throughout the country, documenting the animist traditions of various ethnic groups.
