Karfiguéla waterfalls

Karfiguéla waterfalls are a natural water system on the Komoé River with several stepped pools and cascades arranged one after another. The waterfalls drop across different levels and create multiple natural pools between each tier.

These waterfalls formed through natural erosion of the Komoé River over a long period and have shaped the development of the Cascades Region. The water system has been an important location in local geography and settlement patterns since ancient times.

Local people use this place as a gathering spot and recreation area, especially on weekends when families and friends come here to swim and spend time together.

The waterfalls carry the most water between June and September when the rainy season brings fuller pools and stronger flows to attract visitors. During this time, the pathways may be slippery and require good footwear and caution when climbing.

The climb follows natural stone steps carved into the rock face over time, offering visitors an easy path upward. Many visitors overlook these weathered steps or fail to notice how they reveal a long history of people using this place.
