Man

Overview

Man itself is not a very beautiful town in Ivory Coast, but the lush green hills around it make it a great place to travel to.

The main attractions are outside of town, but in town a visit to the market is worth your while. It's a very colorful and lively place and you can find some good buys, especially carvings and fabrics.

Around Man the best places to visit are the Cascade , a waterfall in a bamboo forest 5 km west of town, Mount Tonkoui the second highest peak just 20 km on the same road from where you can see as far as Liberia on a clear day, the Dentde Man a steep touth-shaped mountain 14 km north-east of twon with great hiking opportunities, as well as a number of local villages such as Biankouma , Gouessesso , Tieni-Siabli or Fakobly . Here you can experience 'the real Africa'.
