Destinations with a common land border
To consider a circuit, check separately the opening of borders, permits and transport. A common border does not guarantee an accessible crossing.
A specific subject for this destination
Koutammakou and the Batammariba
Koutammakou is a cultural landscape associated with the Batammariba, now listed as a cross-border property in Togo and Benin. Housing and territory are understood with their living uses.
- I'm a quirky father. UNESCO World Heritage Centre file.
The decision to be prepared
Do not confuse heritage visit with free access to houses. Clarify with an attendant the areas visited, the agreement of the inhabitants and the conditions of photography. Check out the official information for the route and a possible border.
Does the classification allow entry into each dwelling?
No. The heritage inscription does not replace the agreement of the inhabitants or local visiting instructions.
A step to understand and organize
Koutammakou: a meeting with a inhabited landscape
Source of the benchmark: UNESCO World Heritage Record. UNESCO DataHub Reference . This source documents the subject; access, tickets and transport must be confirmed separately.
The decision that changes this stage
Name the selected villages and country for each stage before comparing two circuits. Prepare the tour with a suitable accompaniment and respect private or ceremonial spaces. A photographed house does not replace the explanation of the landscape and the life surrounding it.
Three points to confirm before booking
