Karfiguéla waterfalls, Natural waterfall system near Banfora, Burkina Faso.

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 falls are fed by the Komoé River and lie about 12 km northwest of Banfora, in the commune of Karfiguéla, from which they take their name. The Cascades Region itself is named after these falls, and camping overnight on the site is not allowed.
