Glimpse of Ivory Coast - the Land of Hope

Glimpse of Ivory Coast - the Land of Hope 690 , 5 Days

There is one name which has recently started to appear more and more on travelers’ radars: Côte d’Ivoire. Famous also as Ivory Coast, the country has been through some political upheaval until recently, but it’s now ready to welcome adventurers and lovers of West African culture. Reffered to as 'The Land of Hope" in its national anthem, it’s a country with diverse culture and even more diverse nature. On this tour you will see remote villages where locals still keep their old traditional way of life, rituals and beliefs, as well as modern cities with shimmering skyscrapers like Abijan. The sandy beaches and the palm-tree forests make it a real tropical paradise, while the hiking opportunities are a treat for the outdoor enthusiasts. There are also some curious sights to behold, like the colossal Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, the largest Christian place of worship in the world in Yamoussoukro and the nut-cracking chimps in the Parc National de Taï.

Highlights:
♦ Basilica of Our Lady of Peace - the largest basilica in the world
The colonial city of Grand Bassam
♦ Traditional Senoufo and Baule villages
