Métché Falls

Métché Falls, located in the Mbouda district of Cameroon on the Penka-Michel border, on the Metchié-Choumi river, is one of Bafoussam's tourist attractions. The entry to the falls is marked by a sign on the road; once there, you must park your car in the area designated for this purpose and walk there.

According to local beliefs, the Metche Falls serves as a site of sacrifice to dispel the curse and mourn the deceased. Salt, money, palm oil, and even meals have been placed as offerings on the ground at the site's entrance.

This breathtaking waterfall is steeped in history. Right after the Dschang-Bafoussam intersection and across from the water treatment facility, on the road to Mbouda. During the dark years of Cameroon, this is where the French colonial force would toss Cameroonians who challenged their system into the waterfalls. A specific monument should be built to remember those who died while battling for the country's independence. These waterfalls are a place of pilgrimage for those who lost loved ones. Métché Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Cameroon.
