"Gateway to Taberma Valley" Kante by grets

Kante Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 54 photos

These villages are on the UNESCO Heritage list as Koutammakou – an area that stretches across the border into Benin.

I find the architecture fasinating. Very interesting look at Kante. I love my little takienta. Thanks again!
