At Fétoré near Labé the river drops into a gorge and a natural arch of rock spans it just above the fall, the Pont de Dieu, left where the water cut through underneath and the roof held. The bridge can be walked across. Below it the fall drops into a pool with forest along the sides. The combination of arch and waterfall in one place is what makes the site.
What you actually see
- The natural arch - the rock bridge spanning the gorge above the fall.
- The fall - the drop into the pool below the bridge.
- The crossing - the arch walkable from one side to the other.
- The gorge forest - the growth along the sides of the cut.
When to go
July to October is the wet season with the heaviest flow. The dry season reduces the fall considerably. The rock is slippery when wet.
Honest expectations
The arch is slippery and unprotected and crossing it carries real risk. Village and guide fees are expected. The track in is rough and there are no facilities.
Nearby
Labé is nearby, and Doucki is southwest.
