The Mountain At Cascade De Kpime
My trip to Togo was a short one and frankly, I didn't get the experience of Togo and everything Togo has to offer, I only stayed a few days (I think 2 nights in Togo) and in that short stay, I was only able to visit Cascade de Kpime which is a waterfall and Centre Artisanal de Kpalimé (artistic ground) in Togo. cascade de Kpime is a waterfall in Togo and it is one of the highest waterfalls in Togo and in West Africa it takes about 2 hours to climb to the top of the mountain to see the waterfall which i didn't get to see because there was not enough time since i got there late, we drove from Lome to Kpalime and it took 5-6 hours to get there mainly because our driver was slow and we didn't get the right information so we skipped out on climbing to the top of the mountain. good news we were able to see just a few drops of the water from the falls after climbing for a few kilometers we got to a point in Cascade De Kpime where the water dropped and seeing it was already getting late we decided to stop the journey there.
