Taste the fufu yams of Bassar and you’ll never want to leave – at least, that’s what the locals might tell you in this agricultural kingpin of the Kara Region, central Togo.
Yep, there’s rarely a place where the main draw is the type of yam produced in the surrounding fields.
But then again, there’s rarely a yam as popular in the national kitchen as the labaco type grown in Bassar.
Of course, that’s not it! You can also meet Voodoo locals, and tour the haunting so-called House of the Dead, which honors the tribal chieftains of old.
You’ll see ritual sacrifices of goats and other livestock here, as well as fascinating cultural processions.
