Getting there

Private Car

If you're traveling by private car from any location within Couffo, head towards the main road leading to Bohicon. Follow Route Nationale No 3 (RN3) for approximately 40 km. You will pass through small towns and villages along the way. Keep an eye out for signs indicating the direction to Bohicon. Once you reach Bohicon, navigate to the area marked as 53HC+VHW using your GPS or local maps.

Public Transportation (Taxi-Brousse)

To reach Bohicon via public transport, find a taxi-brousse (shared minibus) station in Couffo. Taxi-brousses to Bohicon usually depart from major towns or cities. Make sure to ask for one going to 'Bohicon.' The fare is typically around 1000-1500 CFA Francs (approximately $1.50-$2.50 USD). The journey can take about 1-2 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Bohicon, you can ask the driver or locals for directions to 53HC+VHW.

Motorbike Taxi (Okada)

For a quicker option, consider taking an okada (motorbike taxi) from your location in Couffo to Bohicon. You can negotiate the fare directly with the rider, but expect to pay around 3000-5000 CFA Francs (approximately $5-$8 USD) for the trip. This option is faster and more direct, but make sure to wear a helmet and confirm the price before starting your journey.
