Kpimé Falls is a waterfall near the village of Kpimé, a few kilometres from Kpalimé in the Plateaux region of south-west Togo. It sits in hilly, densely wooded country and is linked to the Kpimé dam site. It is one of the known natural sights around Kpalimé, the starting point for exploring this green region. The hydroelectric dam was built in 1962 to supply Kpalimé with power, and it affects the flow of the falls, above all when water is held back or diverted. So the falls change a great deal with the seasons, running full in the rains and thin in the dry months. Plans to rehabilitate the dam and the site were announced in the 2020s. You see a long thread of white water dropping down a tall rock face among thick green trees. Above lies the calm dam lake, crossed by a narrow railed walkway, with water spilling over the curved dam edge like a thin curtain. Forested hills surround the site. It is about 11 km from Kpalimé in a straight line. There is a visitor office at the entrance. The path to the foot of the falls is slippery, so wear suitable shoes and take care in rain.
