Short description of Wli Waterfalls
Wli (Agumatsa) is the highest waterfall in West Africa, dropping in two stages off the Agumatsa escarpment on the Togolese border, and the lower fall is a flat forty minute walk from the village through a butterfly-heavy forest reserve. The upper fall takes three or four hours of steep climbing and almost nobody does it. The cliff behind the plunge pool holds a colony of straw-coloured fruit bats numbering in the hundreds of thousands, which lift off the rock face in clouds when the spray shifts.
