Hohoe can be planned around two different scales: the Hohoe Central Market represents trade in the town, while the Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls are in the wider area of the Hohoe Municipality. Gbidukorza is also connected with Hohoe and Peki.
Market, Art and Festival Culture
The Hohoe Central Market gives local traders space to offer their goods and services. This makes the market a specific point of reference for local trade. A 2021 report also mentions an art centre in Hohoe as a tourist attraction in the Hohoe Municipality. The market and the art centre represent different interests: trade on the one hand, and a cultural venue designated as an attraction on the other. If you plan to visit the art centre, check current visitor arrangements in advance.
Gbidukorza: Festival Programme and Planning
Gbidukorza is the festival of the Gbi State. It began in 1995, is celebrated annually, lasts four days and is connected with Hohoe and Peki. The programme includes a Miawoezor welcome ceremony on Friday, a grand Durbar on Saturday, and a State Dance on Saturday evening. The festival’s duration and individual programme events help with different planning questions: four days refers to the festival as a whole, while the events mentioned are assigned to specific days of the week. If you are planning your trip around Gbidukorza, check the dates for the particular edition before booking hotel nights.
Wli Waterfalls in the Municipality
The Wli Traditional Area is in the Hohoe Municipality, not in Hohoe itself. The walk to the lower Wli Agumatsa Waterfall takes about 45 minutes and is mostly flat. The route to the Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls passes through the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to monkeys and baboons. The time given refers to the walk to the lower waterfall, not the duration of an entire excursion. For nature lovers, the route, approximate walking time and habitat in the sanctuary each offer different points of reference for planning.
Find Hotels Based on Your Travel Plans
If you are mainly interested in the town itself, the market and the art centre, mentioned as an attraction in 2021, represent different themes. For a trip to Gbidukorza, the dates of the particular edition are important; the Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls, on the other hand, are in the wider area of the Municipality. So do not treat these travel plans as a single list of activities: the festival lasts four days, while about 45 minutes refers only to the walk to the lower waterfall. These time periods describe different things and are not comparable lengths of stay. Plan your hotel stay around the reason for your trip that you want to focus on.
