On the flip side, the Masisi is a magnificent, fertile alpine region, known as "Little Switzerland", which dazzles with its relief and verdant hills. The Masisi was already highly prized and appreciated in Belgian times, not least for its mild climate. You feel as if you're in the middle of the Alps, while the Congolese equatorial forest is not far away... Magnificent landscapes and views that carry you for miles around. This is also where the famous Goma cheese is produced. On the other side of the coin, this border region with Rwanda has been marked by armed conflict and chronic instability for many years.
