History

Banfora is greener than Bobo – and of course is home to the infamous Banfora Cascades (actually about 10 km away from the city itself – but easily accessable by bike). Banfora has more Faux Types than Bobo – and you get more unsolicited attention. French and Jula are spoken. Lots of sugar cane fields line the route as you come in from Bobo (a main crop down there).
