Gorges de Diosso, Natural gorge in Kouilou Department, Republic of Congo.
The red cliffs of Gorges de Diosso extend up to 50 meters high, creating a canyon formation with steep walls of laterite soil.
The geological formations developed through extensive coastal rainfall erosion, shaping the landscape over thousands of years into deep amphitheaters.
The local population considers the gorge as the residence of Mboma, a feminine spirit that manifests in the form of a snake.
Located 35 kilometers from Pointe-Noire, the site requires sturdy walking shoes and early morning visits for optimal geological observation.
The gorge contains a network of tropical forest patches growing on rocky peaks, creating an ecological system within the eroded cliffs.
