Then you'll continue your drive to Lake Togo along the coastal road.

We went to visit Mont Agou and Kpalime (Chateau Vial and one waterfall). I really enjoyed the trip which was very well organized. The guide was very optimistic and keen on explaining us cultural and historical things. The meal was just awesome. Everything was beyond expectations and I will definitely book another trip with Mowoki Tours next time I'll visit Togo.
