Waterfalls and Domes

During my first week of inservice training I had the pleasure to go to the most beautifulest place in Burkina Faso, Karfiguela, home to waterfalls and natural domes that were made thousands of years ago by water.

I am so happy to see green and be on an adventure/vacation

Gwen in front of the grand falls of Karfiguela, this is the dramatic grand waterfall. I hear the best time to view the falls are during the rainy season between June and September.

A close up of the rock formations (Domes) that are about a 2 km hike from the waterfalls. I believe they are the only rock formation of its kind that you can actually hike and climb on in the world.

I was able to capture some amazing views and was somewhat reminded of the American west.

I take a breather from hiking to take in the marvelous sight.

After hiking all over the domes we headed back to the waterfalls and started at the top and made our way back down to the base. It was amazing to know that Burkina Faso has such beauty.
