Mount Tenakourou, Mountain summit at Cascades Region border, Burkina Faso and Mali

Mount Tenakourou is a sandstone formation in the Léraba Region, located along the border between Burkina Faso and Mali. It rises from a plateau and forms part of a larger Paleozoic massif in southwestern Africa.

In 1974, the French built a pile of stones on the summit, raising the hill's height to 750 metres; the aim was to make it clearly higher than a neighbouring peak in Mali whose altitude was close to its own. Between 2003 and 2005, Burkina Faso's National Tourism Office organised a series of high-profile climbs of the hill to raise its touristic potential.

In Dyula, Tenakourou means "the hill of Tena", after the village of about 600 inhabitants at its foot. Tena itself means "have a seat here". The village has a mosque and a school and sometimes hosts an arts festival.

The best access is through the village of Kankalaba, which lies northwest of Sindou. From there, visitors can explore routes toward the summit, with sturdy footwear and water being essential supplies.

The summit's view reaches Mali, 3 km away, and Ivory Coast, 13 km away. The 1974 stone pile raised the hill to 750 m, widening the gap with a neighbouring Malian peak of nearly the same height.
