Dômes de Fabedougou, Rock formation in Banfora Region, Burkina Faso.
The Dômes de Fabedougou display multiple sandstone towers rising from the ground, with heights reaching several dozen meters into the sky.
These geological formations date back approximately two billion years, when the region was submerged under an ocean that allowed sediment deposits.
Local communities near the Dômes de Fabedougou maintain traditional practices, including the production of shea butter from nearby karité trees.
December through February presents optimal conditions for visiting the rock formations, with clear skies and temperatures suitable for climbing activities.
The layered sedimentary structures reveal distinct geological strata patterns, providing evidence of ancient environmental conditions in West Africa.
