Kota Falls

The waterfall stands among dense vegetation in the Atakora Mountains, creating multiple cascades over natural rock formations into a swimming pool below.

The falls have long served as a central meeting point for surrounding communities, contributing to the development of local transportation networks since colonial times.

Local residents maintain a deep connection with the falls, incorporating the site into traditional ceremonies that reflect their relationship with natural water sources.

Visitors can reach the falls by hiring local transportation from Natitingou for 5000 CFA, with guided tours explaining the surrounding ecology.

The combination of mountainous terrain and water features creates an environment where numerous bird species gather throughout different seasons.
