Chutes d'Yikpa, Waterfall and scenic viewpoint in Hohoe Municipal District, Ghana.

The Chutes d'Yikpa waterfall features two vertical drops of 80 meters each, straddling the border between Ghana and Togo with clear waters flowing year-round.

Local hunters first discovered the waterfall when they mistook the sound of cascading water for the rhythmic beats of traditional talking drums.

The falls bear different names in local languages, with Agumatsa meaning 'Allow Me to Flow' in the language of the Ewe people who inhabit the region.

Visitors need to pay an entrance fee of 2,000 FCFA and should arrange for a local guide to navigate the three-hour trek through forest paths.

The waterfall site houses a large colony of bats that cling to the surrounding cliffs and frequently soar through the mist-filled air.

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.
