Togo

Togo, a West African nation on the Gulf of Guinea, is known for its palm-lined beaches and hilltop villages. The capital, Lomé, houses the Grand Marché bazaar and the enchanting Fetish Market, offering powerful traditional talismans and remedies linked to the voodoo religion. The small town of Togoville is a favorite for many. Enjoy the breeze on a short boat ride to this island-like settlement and visit the Cathedral with a shrine to the Virgin Mary built where she is believed to have appeared in the early 1970s. Adventure lovers should prepare to be challenged with a thrilling hike up Mount Agou- the highest point in the country! Finally, do not leave Togo without visiting their fine, white sandy beaches and tasting their delicious cuisine. For those interested in healthy eating, many restaurants offer authentically prepared and mouth-watering local fares.
