Cascades de Karfiguela, located near Banfora in Burkina Faso's Cascades Region, is a stunning natural wonder that offers a refreshing break from the warm climate. The waterfalls are accessible via a short drive from Banfora, followed by a relatively easy hike through lush landscapes. Visiting between June and October is ideal to see the waterfalls at their fullest, thanks to the rainy season. While it's possible to explore independently, hiring a local guide can enhance your experience with insights about the area. Plan to spend around 2-3 hours to fully enjoy the site. There are no entry fees, but it's wise to bring some cash for a guide or local vendors. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, pack plenty of water, and consider swimwear for a dip in the natural pools.
