This deep river passes through a hilly region, making it more attractive than the river Niger. The canoe traversed at sunset is particularly beautiful.

Come to the limit of the Khasso district, stay along the river. You're going over a little marigot. From there, follow the magnificent path that winds in the middle of the vegetable crops and runs along the river. After a little half an hour, you will discover a superb bathing place: a beautiful beach wet in a crystal clear water.
