Pont de lianes de Poubara, Liana bridge in Franceville, Gabon.
The bridge spans 52 meters across the Ogooué River near Poubara Falls, constructed entirely from natural materials and woven lianas.
In 1915, Moussikoué Mvouzangoyi created the bridge to connect the villages of Mounienguelé and Kouyi after observing an overturned dugout canoe.
The bridge maintenance techniques and construction methods have been passed down through generations, requiring 2,400 lianas annually for repairs.
Visitors can reach the bridge by taking a 4x4 vehicle on Boumango road or regular car via airport road, with travel times between 30-60 minutes.
The grandson of the original builder, Freddy Omoumba, maintains the bridge since 2001, collecting entrance fees of 5,000 FCFA per person.
