I accidentally ran across a spot where locals practice Animism, one of the traditional African religions.
Speaking of religion, Burkina Faso is a very diverse country: Islam, Christianity, Which craft, Animism, Voodoo… This article nicely clarifies the traditional religions of the country.

In Bobo Dioulasso this medium sized old van is transporting a cow on the roof… no joke!
This little house is not located in some countryside or in a small village… It’s actually in the middle of a city! (Bobo Dioulasso)
Mud Mosque in Bobo Dioulasso – Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are famous for those.
So I was running around the mosque and taking quick shots, while some local guy was hustling me and trying to be my guide. He couldn’t speak any English, but that wasn’t enough for me to convince him I don’t need his service.
There is one very unique thing about Bobo Dioulasso – It has farmland in the middle of the city! The area is very organized and divided into hundreds of small parcels.

In the village of Kora, there is a small habitat on top of the hill. It is very unique and the locals are aware of it. Hence, there is a $2 entrance fee. When I was heading up, the women that were selling their produce at that crossroad asked me to wait, while they get the attendant to charge me. He wasn’t on the ticket stand because nobody ever comes up here. It took him only 20 minutes to arrive.
It felt very mysterious around here. Maybe because it was so quiet.
