UNESCO World Heritage site The small village of Kouadangou is famous well beyond its size. This little speck on the map is part of a wider area known as Koutammakou, a region that stretches for s several miles across northern Togo and into neighbouring Benin and Burkina Faso. This is the home of the Bassamba, who are famous for their fortress-like architecture, known as Takienta. We spent a couple of days here, soaking up the local atmosphere. |
