Discover Hohoe

If you’re looking for a hotel in Hohoe, it helps to distinguish between the town and the wider municipality. The Art Centre and Hohoe Central Market are landmarks in Hohoe itself. Gbidukorza is associated with Hohoe and Peki; the route to the Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls is within the municipality. This helps you organize your travel interests geographically: art and commerce in town, a festival with regional ties, and a nature trail in the municipality. This makes it clear whether your interests are focused on Hohoe itself or extend to the wider municipal and regional context.

Art and commerce in Hohoe

The Art Centre is located in Hohoe; a 2021 report identifies it as a tourist attraction in the municipality. For art enthusiasts, it is therefore a specific cultural point of interest. If you plan to visit, check current visiting arrangements in advance.

Hohoe Central Market gives local traders a place to offer goods and services. The market resumed operations in December 2024. Unlike the Art Centre, its main function is commerce: local traders offer goods and services, while the Art Centre is associated with art. If you’d like to get to know Hohoe through its art and commerce, the two places offer distinct points of interest.

Gbidukorza: a festival with regional ties

Gbidukorza, the festival of the Gbi State, began in 1995 and is celebrated annually. It lasts four days and is associated with Hohoe and Peki, so its scope extends beyond Hohoe to the wider travel area. One program description mentions a Miawoezor welcome ceremony on Friday, a grand durbar on Saturday, and a State Dance in the evening. If you’re planning your trip around the festival, check the dates for that year’s edition so you can schedule your visit to coincide with the festivities.

Wli Agumatsa: nature in the municipality

The Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls are within the municipality, not in Hohoe town itself. The mostly flat walking trail to the lower waterfall takes about 45 minutes. The trail profile and the time required are two different planning details: the trail is mostly flat, while about 45 minutes is the approximate walking time. It passes through the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to monkeys and baboons. The sanctuary is therefore part of the route, and the animals are part of the natural surroundings. For nature enthusiasts, this walk adds a specific destination in the municipality to Hohoe’s art and commerce attractions.

Putting festival duration and walking time in context

For planning purposes, these figures are not interchangeable: four days is the duration of Gbidukorza, while about 45 minutes is the walking time to the lower waterfall. If you’d like to include both in your trip, plan your festival visit around the dates of that year’s edition and allow for the trail as a separate block of time.
