About

Watch out for the types who will try to guide you. It's difficult to resist the temptation to take a dip in the falls, but the water might give you a nasty case of schistosomiasis.

The Cascades de Karfiguéla or the Banfora Cascades are a series of waterfalls along the Komoé River in Southwestern Burkina Faso. They are located about 12 km northwest of Banfora and constitute one of the most important tourism sites in Burkina Faso. The Cascades Region gets its name from the waterfalls. The flow of the falls peaks during the rainy season from June to September.
