Banco National Park

Banco National Park is a 30-square-kilometer protected rainforest oasis on the outskirts of Abidjan, offering a serene retreat from urban bustle. The park features well-marked hiking trails that wind through dense vegetation, where visitors can see giant trees, monkeys, butterflies, and over 100 bird species. A guided walk is recommended to spot wildlife and learn about the forest's ecology. The park also includes a small botanical garden and a canopy walkway that provides a bird's-eye view of the treetops. It's a popular spot for nature lovers and families.
