Womé Falls is a forest waterfall near the village of Womé, south-west of Kpalimé in the Plateaux region of western Togo. The country around Kpalimé is held to be among the finest scenery in Togo, with green hills, valleys and many waterfalls. Visitors come here to walk in the forest and swim in its broad pool. Kpalimé sits at the foot of the Togo Mountains on a plain some 200 metres high, bounded to the north and west by the Kloto mountains and the Kuma plateau. To the east rises Mount Agou, the country's highest peak at 986 metres. Many streams run down from these heights to form the region's falls, Womé among them. You arrive by a path through tall trees, thick plants and large moss-covered rocks. The place then opens onto a high rock face hung with roots, with a white thread of water dropping into a wide shallow pool. Flat rocks around the pool give visitors shady places to sit. It is about 9 km from Kpalimé in a straight line, and Kpimé Falls is nearby. The rocks are slippery, so wear suitable shoes. The flow is fullest in the rainy season.
