| | The towns and
cities of Burkina Faso
These
pages show a variety of scenes in a few of the larger towns in Burkina
Faso:
 | Ouahigouya is the
fourth-largest town in the country, located in the north, with a population
of about 65,000 in 2000 (the town where I lived). |
| Bobo-Dioulasso
(Bobo) is the second-largest city in the country, and a favorite of many Peace Corps volunteers who
have gotten to know it during their three months of training. |
| Ouagadougou
(Ouaga) is the capital and
largest city of Burkina Faso, with a population estimated at around
1,000,000. |
| Gorom-Gorom
(Gorom) is more a large village than a town, but it has several unique
aspects, so it is arbitrarily included here. |

and More about life in some of Burkina Faso's villages and some other photos
