An ancient troglodyte village located at the top of a small cliff overlooking the African bush, with huts...
This ancient cave village perched atop a small cliff is a real wonder for the brave. It is compulsory to be accompanied by a village guide. The climb is quite difficult (especially when it is 40 ° C). Once at the top, the view on the African bush is worth a sweat. One can then visit the remains of the small village, which was the refuge of the ethnic group Ouara threatened by the Sénoufo (the name of Ouara, or Wara, which means "wild beast", date only from colonial times. The real name of the ethnicity would be Sama or "elephant"). It has been abandoned since the early 1980 s, but some boxes are still subject to annual restorations (e. g. the box of féticheur). This cave village consists mainly of tiny boxes of tents as well as greniers-backed barns against the wall of the cliff.
