Three Peaks challenges in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso occupies a broad interior plateau with undulating plains and scattered hills. Changes in vegetation and rainfall from the Sahel toward the south are as important to its landscape as elevation.
The landscapes of Burkina Faso
The western hills, including the area around Tena Kourou, provide the country’s most evident high ground. Much of Burkina Faso remains gently undulating, with the landscape changing through vegetation and rainfall as much as elevation. A walking enquiry should reflect these modest uplands and broad savanna settings rather than suggesting a chain of major mountain summits.
