Chutes du Kinkon

Guinea


Pita's major attraction, the tall, narrow Chutes du Kinkon, is close to a large hydroelectric plant but this doesn't detract from its beauty. To get to the falls take the main road north out of town for a kilometre then head left for around 10km down a dirt road. It's a good full-day walk or bike ride.
