Why Burkina Faso?
Burkina Faso provides a clear view of true African landscape. The country is underrated--beautiful waterfalls and plentiful of rivers lie here in the secret gem of Africa: Rivers such as the White/Black/Red Volta and the Singou river to the only mountain in the country: Mount Tenakourou (highest mountain in Burkina Faso, standing at over 2,400 feet above sea level)--(http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/tallest-mountains-in-burkina-faso.html). Not only is the country itself a splendid, hidden realm of nature waiting to be discovered, but the country's culture is also something that every person on earth should experience! From foods to music, I'm sure there will be a lot to enjoy here!

There are a ton of great, delicious Burkinabé foods, but to name a few... we will go with Tô (Saghbo) and Gapalo (http://www.our-africa.org/burkina-faso/food-daily-life).
