Introducing Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, shares borders with Mali, Niger, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo. With evidence of settlements dating from the Neolithic era, Burkina Faso has an ethnically diverse population as well as a notable folkloric heritage that is reflected in the country’s music, dance, and art. Some highlights in Burkina Faso include the Ancient Ferrous Metallurgy Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of elements in five regions: Tiwêga, Yamané, Kindibo and Békuy, as well as Douroula, where there are furnace structures dating to the 8th century BC. Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso’s capital and the nation’s largest city, is the country’s cultural, political, and financial center.
Turkish Airlines operates flights to Burkina Faso to Ouagadougou Airport, in the capital. Flights to Burkina Faso take an average of six hours and 35 minutes, and ticket fares may vary depending on the season.
