Overview of your Ouagadougou tour:

Laongo is a huge ten-hectare open-air museum where artists from all corners of the world have amazingly transformed large blocks of granite (naturally laid on the ground for more than 3 billion years according to specialists) into more than 475 unique pieces of artwork. You will be amazed by the originality of the sculptures and the very interesting stories and descriptions about them and their creators. Invited sculptors create their works using granite from the site. Some works combine local granite and other materials such as metal. On this tour you will also learn a lot about Africa's (and other continents') culture and wisdom through the detailed comments and descriptions to be given to you by a passionate and experienced guide of the site. This tour will give you a unique experience and introduce you to different art styles.

Your Ouagadougou tour itinerary

- This tour will only focus on exploring the "Laongo" International site for granite sculptures because of its big size. - After meeting, we will travel for 45-60 minutes towards the site. Then, we will spend between 1. 30 hours and 2 hours exploring the mostly-liked sculptures of the site. - After that, I will drive you to a great local restaurant for lunch (optional) or right back to your hotel. Please contact me for any special requests or if you would like the option of a customized tour. I look forward to bringing you there!
