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.
