Plains of various origins and ages, with varied aspects, plateaus and hills of the Atakora are all sites of choice for the walker, of interest to the geographer. The ethnographer will be able to comment on a population which, though small in number, is made up of a multitude of ethnic groups with sharp and perennial cultural characteristics, despite the penetrating influence of the modern world.
