The village of Tanougou is located 81 km from the city of Natitingou and 11 km from the Pendjari Park. In the middle of the forest, the Tanougou Fall flows with its waters crossing the Atakora mountain range. It is the largest waterfall in Benin with 20 meters in height and a 30-meter deep swimming pool-shaped basin.
Besides swimming, the luxuriant vegetation which borders the waterfall offers a pleasant and favorable place for camping and hiking. These falls can be admired all year round and, although they are located in the forest, they are not isolated. Many improvised art galleries have actually emerged near them.
