Cestos River

The Cestos River, also known as the Nuon or Nipoué River, is a Liberian river that begins in Guinea's Nimba Range and runs south along the Côte d'Ivoire border, then southwest through Liberian rain forest paths to empty into a bay on the Atlantic Ocean, where the city of River Cess is located.

The pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) has been seen on the banks of the river. It makes up the northern portion of Liberia's international border with Côte d'Ivoire. The section of the river near Cestos was a major food and mineral extraction location for the National Patriotic Front of Liberia during the First Liberian Civil War.

This Cestos River is not only one of the longest rivers in Liberia but also has a great width. Between the two vast banks of the country and want to go, the only way is to rent a boat or raft from local residents. Each boat can only accommodate 3 people excluding luggage. However, each trip is not too expensive. You can both take a boat ride and enjoy the surrounding scenery. This river is considered one of the longest rivers in Liberia.
