Visiting Burkina Faso

A landlocked country in West Africa, Burkina Faso is nestled between Niger to the east, and Benin, Togo, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, and Mali to the west and north. You'll find the terrain interesting and varied, with plains, mountains, rock formations and everything in between. If you love natural features, you'll want to see the Les Pics d Sindou, an incredible feat of natural architecture, featuring stone structures that provide a beautiful view and easy hiking. If you prefer art made by human hands, be sure to check out the Laongo Sculpture Symposium in Ouagadougou.

Although not highly focused on tourism, you'll find welcoming smiles and beautiful accommodations throughout the country, including resorts in Burkina Faso. One of the most popular cities to visit is Ouagadougou. Home to many interesting architectural marvels, including mosques and churches, the everyday homes and buildings are also lovely to look at. A must-see is the array of painted houses in Tiébélé. These are not your normal homes—made of mud, wood, and straw, they are incredible works of art. Venture into smaller towns in areas around Ouagadougou (many offer guided tours) and you will get an authentic taste of life in this small African country.
