Dômes de Fabedougou

The Dômes de Fabedougou are sandstone towers that rise from the ground, reaching several dozen meters high. These formations create a distinctive cluster of shapes spread across the landscape.

These formations developed about two billion years ago when the region lay beneath an ocean where sediments accumulated. The layers reveal how the environment changed over vast spans of time.

The surrounding communities live with these rocks as part of their daily landscape and heritage. Local traditions have long been connected to the natural features of this region.

December through February offers the best visiting conditions with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. This period allows for easier exploration and climbing activities.

The layered structures display clearly distinct geological strata that preserve clues about ancient conditions. Visitors can study these visible layers to understand the geological history written into the rocks.
