Nestled in the center of the country, in the Lakes region, nearly 250 km from Abidjan, is Yamoussoukro, the birthplace of President Félix Houphouët-Boigny. This locality, established as the political capital of Côte d’Ivoire in 1983, reveals a flat landscape, draped in a wooded savannah and crossed by waterways. A place that stands out for its wide avenues, the result of a unique personalized urban plan.
However, beyond its spacious arteries and its status as the sixth most populous city in the country, Yamoussoukro is distinguished by a captivating discovery: Cayman Lake. Inaugurated in the 1950s by the first president of Côte d’Ivoire, this location, located in front of the majestic palace of President Houphouët-Boigny, arouses daily interest among both Ivorians and foreign visitors.
The lake, which is particularly popular during the African Cup of Nations, attracts attention with its mysterious aura. Some visitors bring food to lure the caimans to the shores, capturing striking images of these sharp-toothed predators shredding the meat offered by the curious.
Despite divergent opinions on its current appeal, Cayman Lake remains one of the most mythical and famous tourist sites in Yamoussoukro. A destination that continues to charm with its historical heritage and the fascination it exerts on those who dare to venture to its surroundings.
