Culture
    The Bandiagara site is an excellent landscape of cliffs and sandy plateaus with few wonderful architecture (houses, granaries, altars, sanctuaries and Togu Na, or communal meeting-places).
    various age-old social traditions live on in the region (masks, feasts, rituals, and ceremonies involving ancestor worship).
    The geological, archaeological and ethnological interest, together with the landscape, make the Bandiagara plateau one of West Africa\'s most inspiring sites.
