Something not right?

Description

A natural rock bridge over a series of small waterfalls. We parked in the total garage at the East end of town and made a circular hike over the Pont du Dieu, starting on the track next to the garage and returning to town down a second path/track nearer the market. A guide is available from the tourist info office but if you have Maps.me or similar this isn't needed.

Long story but we have to share our experience. We camped near by the bridge and locals (mostly kids) came to talk to us all night. We thought about doing the right thing, and offerd the oldest (18 years old) to guide us the next day to the "Pont" even if we knew we didnt needed one. No problem, he said, he was really happy. We were planing to give him a little something, like 40 K (wich is a lot in Guinea), because we had a nice conversation with his uncle the night before and we thought we could help a bit the community. At the end he was really desapointed when we gave him 40k and asked us 100k instead ! 11 € for almost nothing ! The bridge is nice, but that is not the point. If u come here, just go see the bridge without taking any sort of guide, its pointless and really anoying.
We also have to say that the all ride to the bridge (road is very bad), there was kids harassing us, asking reapitidly for money during 30 minutes at our windows. When we came back up, the same story... I had to get out of the car at some point and yel at them to leave us alone... Sad.

A nice bridge made of rocks and overlooking a waterfall (swimming not possible because of the flow). No guide needed - I walked from Dalaba downtown to the bridge and back using Maps.me for a total of 15 km approximately. Pretty straightforward.

still nice to see. you can drive to 350 meters of the waterfall. Entrance from the main road, total gas station from there it's around 3.5km to the parking by an old house, but you need a 4x4, specially when it is a bit wet. but in our opinion, its worth visiting it.
