- Main Lower Falls & Plunge Pool: The dramatic curtain of water at the base is why most people come — the roar, the spray, and the big natural pool you can (carefully) swim in. It’s the highest waterfall in Ghana, so the scale and the mist-filled air feel different from smaller cascades you see elsewhere.
- Upper Falls & Cliff Viewpoint: A steeper, quieter scramble upstream leads to the upper tier and cliff edges where you get a sweeping view down the valley and the waterfall from above. Fewer people make it up here, so the perspective — towering water framed by green slopes — feels properly epic and peaceful.
- Agumatsa Rainforest Trail: The path winds through dense montane rainforest with thick ferns, dangling vines and massive tree roots. Compared with more open or manicured trails, this

- Agumatsa Rainforest Trail: The path winds through dense montane rainforest with thick ferns, dangling vines and massive tree roots. Compared with more open or manicured trails, this one has a raw, humid “in the jungle” vibe that’s great if you like mossy rocks, sudden shafts of light and the sound of dripping leaves.
- Wildlife Corridors — Butterflies, Birds & Monkeys: Expect clouds of butterflies, noisy monkeys in the canopy and a steady stream of birds — sunbirds, kingfishers and others. The concentration of insects, birds and primates along the trail and near the falls creates constant, lively encounters you don’t get on drier trails.
- Wli Village & Ewe Culture: The walk starts in a small village where local guides meet you, craft stalls sell snacks and woven goods, and you can see how the community and traditions tie to the falls. It’s a compact, friendly cultural touch that turns a nature hike into a proper local experience and directly supports the people who look after the trail.
