Alloum, Togo: a small, peaceful riverside town in West Africa
Aloum is a small, peaceful city in the West African country of Togo, located in the south-central region of Togo on the banks of the Mono River, about 100 kilometers north of Lomé. The city is known for its strong West African flavor and the simplicity of local life, making it an ideal place to experience traditional Togolese culture. The area around Aloum is predominantly agricultural, with residents growing corn, cassava and cotton, while the Mono River provides abundant fishing resources, creating a unique economic model of "riverside farming, fishing and hunting".
Although the city is small, it has retained the traditional Togolese architectural style, with houses made of rammed earth and date palms contrasting with each other in a primitive and rustic landscape. The local market is bustling with crafts such as traditional weavings, wood carvings and pottery, making it a great place for visitors to experience Togolese folk art. With its slow pace and friendly residents, Alloum is perfect for travelers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and experience rural West Africa in depth.
