What to Expect

On this tour from Mopti, you'll spend the day hiking to various interesting villages via Bandiagara, the portal to Dogon Country, and its main commercial center. Within the village, you'll find the magnificent Palace of Aguibou Tall, a large toguna or a traditional circular hut made from clay and bamboo or wood, with a thatched roof, and a traditional medicinal center with botanical gardens. You will also visit Dourou, a village on the top of the Southern Plateau, and a good place to buy indigo fabrics on the market day.

After half a day of hiking, take a break and enjoy a scrumptious picnic lunch. Then, continue your hike to your final village visit before returning to Mopti in the late afternoon.
