Chutes de la Métché

The Metche Waterfall cascades down 40 meters through rocky formations in the Western Highlands region of Cameroon at an elevation of 1297 meters.

The waterfall has remained a natural monument in the Bafoussam area, drawing inhabitants from neighboring communities throughout generations of Cameroonian history.

Local communities incorporate the waterfall into their traditional ceremonies and gather near its waters for important social celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the waterfall by following marked trails from Bafoussam, with the dry season offering the most favorable conditions for exploration.

The water flow creates patterns across multiple rock layers, forming natural pools at different levels as it descends through the mountainous terrain.
