Suggested Duration: 2 hours

Cascade de Yikpa is a waterfall located in the Plateaux region near Kpalimé, Togo, accessible by an hour-long hike along an unmarked, steep trail known primarily to local farmers. The water cascades over rocky outcrops, plunging approximately 35 meters into a deep pool before continuing its descent towards the Ghanaian border. Set in a narrow, wooded valley surrounded by several small villages, the area provides clear views of the rugged landscape and highlights the local topography. Travelers should note that the path can be muddy and slippery, so proper footwear and local guidance are recommended for a safe journey.

The lower waterfall is easily reached in about 30’ walk from Wli tourist office where you’ll pay a small fee. The upper falls require a walk of 3-5 hours on step but well visible walking paths. Guide recommend and available at the tourist office. You have several options to hike, including the Togo loop going round the waterfalls. Rather steep as I said, and exposed on occasion. Hiking shoes recommended even I’d the locals will go on slippers. On some digital maps the paths are visible and you have often network. Gorgeous place for both scenery and plants and animals. Still relatively wild in the upper reaches, with little littering and some forest remaining.I totally enjoyed it. In the rainy season the upper fall is quite violent with more water than in other times, I suppose, and you get soaked.
