Attractions in Hohoe District > Alavanyo Abeheanse

Alavanyo Abeheanse

Location

Alavanyo Abehanse is located about 20 km south-west of Hohoe. From the main Accra-Hohoe road, a dirt road branches westwards at Gibi Wegbe, about 7 km south of Hohoe. The waterfall lies about 1 km from the village, and it is possible to get within 50 m with a private vehicle.

The Place

Alavanyo Abehanse is a village of roughly 1,000 inhabitants. To the west, it is framed by attractive mountains. The path leading to the waterfall further continues to the Foyer de Charité, a little French convent.

Main Attractions

To reach the waterfall, visitors have to climb on a little foot path through dense bamboo and other trees or bushes. Even though less high than, for example, Wli Falls, Tsatsudo Falls has a special appeal, and many visitors say that it is the most attractive of all the waterfalls in Hohoe District. It consists of several small waterfalls that are separated from the one above or below by a dark and rocky ledge, creating a cascade of falling water. On two separate levels, there are pools (one above the other) both of which are deep enough to swim in.

According to the villagers, hiking is possible in the nearby hills and, in particular, up Mount Mangotoedzi.
