Description

caves or better old city built direct into the rock. Very nice view here!
You need a guide to visit the city so make shure you get the real one (2 are writen on a sign with telefon numbers)
we paid 5000 Cfa for 2 person. I think it was to much! 1000 per person should be ok

Honestly not that interesting. The journey through the countryside was long but alright, and if it weren’t the dry season then I’m sure the view from the top of the mountain would be awesome, but the actual cave tour took maybe 15 minutes, and it is January, so all of the sand in the atmosphere from the Harmatan meant that there was no view at all.
My partner and I both rode on the back of one motor bike all the way from Dapaong and paid 10,000 francs (together). We paid 2,000 each to enter the site and gave our guide 1,000 bringing our total for the entire experience up to 15,000. We did not feel it was worth that money or the time. We also got stopped and harassed big time by some kind of army officer on our way back to town.
If you have your own vehicle and you are visiting at another time of year, definitely s cool enough place. Otherwise I’d say just look at photos and info online.
Also, we were guided by the brother of the popular guide mentioned here. He was fine but there wasn’t that much to say.

Caves and houses build into the rock. Really cool place to visit. 2000 CFA pp plus 4.000 CFA for obligatory guide. Worth the 24 km dirt tack, which is over all in good condition

Nice, litte ancient City built into the Rocks and Caves. Beautiful views on surrounding landscape. Used to be a local Hideout in order to avoid Slavery more than hundred Years ago. You have to climb down two steep but short ladders (that's why probably "No Dress"?).

We also paid 2.000 CFA each (Officially stated entrance Fee). The Guide was 4.000 CFA. He was friendly and did a good (compared to the usual African Guides).

Was worth the 24 km Dirt Track from the Main Road (Piste is in good condition).

5,000 CFA for guide and 2,000 CFA per person. Wear sturdy shoes and NOT a dress. Cool spot. The guides will turn up from the village when you drive up. Our guide spoke English and owns a bar in the village with cheap drinks. He also can host people in his home in the village. You can camp in the car park for 2,000 CFA per car, no facilities but a nice spot.
