Karfiguéla waterfalls, Natural waterfall system near Banfora, Burkina Faso.
The multi-tiered waterfall formation spans across the Komoé River, creating numerous cascading pools and natural water features along its course.
The waterfalls have shaped the development of the Cascades Region in Burkina Faso, serving as a central geographical feature since ancient times.
Local residents gather at the waterfalls during weekends for social activities, maintaining connections between families and communities in the region.
The waterfalls reach their highest water volume between June and September during the rainy season, making this period optimal for photography.
Natural stone steps carved into the rock face guide visitors through a 15-minute climb from the base pool to the summit.
