Tagbo Falls / Wli Falls / Mt. Afadjato



















Day 2 of the 3 day journey involved a lot of hiking. We hiked to the top of Mt Afadjato first then hiked to Liate Wote and into Tagbo Falls. Mt Afadjato is the "highest mountain" in Ghana at 885 meters. It took us 30 minutes to get to the top it was mostly straight up. From the top we could see our next destination cascading down the mountain side. You can see Togo in the background we were only 3
Km away from the border. After a hard day hiking we enjoyed a great sunset from our taxi who finally returned to pick us up. He had a flat tire and was 1 hour late.

















Day 3 began again with a lot of hiking. It was about a 1.5 hour hike to the base of Upper Wli Falls, the path was more difficult and steeper than the mountain the day before. Wli Falls is considered to be the "Tallest in West Africa" consisting of a series of drops and cascades that combine for about 400 meters of total drop in about 30 meters of distance traveled. Their are two big drops the Upper Falls(about 40 meters) and the Lower Falls(about 50 meters) .
