Cotonou, Country information Geography Also in this section: History Government Economy Benin is bordered by Nigeria to the east, Togo to the west, Burkina Faso to the north-west, Niger to the north-east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The total area measures 114,763 square kilometers; Benin is about 700km long and 120km wide in the South, increasing to 300km wide in the North. It is roughly two-thirds the size of Portugal, or about the same size as the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The terrain of Benin varies greatly between the North and South. The South is a coastal plain with dense vegetation and several lagoons near the coast. The lagoons are created by the flow of the country's three major rivers (the Ouémè, the Couffo, and the Mono) into the coastal plain's sand bar. The largest lagoon, Lac Nokoué, divides Cotonou and Porto Novo. This lake is also home to Ganvié, the famous fishing village built on stilts. In the North, the terrain becomes more barren and mountainous. In the far North, the Atakora mountains reach a height of 658 meters. Climate Like the terrain, Benin's climate varies greatly from North to South. The South has a sub-equatorial climate, with 2 dry seasons and 2 rainy seasons (rainy seasons are April-July and October-November). The temperature in the South ranges from about 18-35°C (65-95°F). In the North, the climate is tropical, consisting of one dry season and one rainy season (rainy season from June-October). The temperature varies more in the North, reaching 46°C (115°F) during the hottest part of the year, which is from March to June.

64. Barre_gauche.gif benin's geography, culture and heritage varies from region to region.The southern part of benin is more heavily populated and more http://www.benintourisme.com/ang/places/autres/dth.intro.htm

Cotonou, Place to Go Introduction Introduction Page Benin's West African heritage offers numerous attractions for discovery by the interested tourist. Travelers here will find a microcosm of Africa's wonders: rhythmic folk dances and elaborate ceremonies; vast national parks and nature reserves; varied animal life and changing landscapes; groves of coconut trees set upon sandy beaches; exotic foods and beautiful handicrafts; and, most importantly, a warm, hospitable people. Benin's geography, culture and heritage varies from region to region. The southern part of Benin is more heavily populated and more developed, while the northern is less so, and thereby can be said to have a more "traditional" appeal; it also is the best spot for wildlife viewing, as Benin's two major game parks are located there. Many visitors begin their journeys in the south, which is made up of three main "departements" along the coastline: the Mono, bordering Togo on the west; the Atlantique in the center, and the Ouémé to the east, bordering Nigeria. The Atlantique is home to Cotonou, Benin's economic capital and the site of the major airport. Here, tourists will find great shopping, a wide variety of dining choices, museums and cultural centers and many opportunities for people-watching. Also in the Atlantique are a variety of day trips one can make from Cotonou, such as a tour of Ganvié, where traditional thatched houses sit on stilts over a lagoon; or a day spent in Ouidah, the former slave post and "Voodoo" capital of Benin. The Mono region contains, among other things, some of Benin's most beautiful beaches. The Ouémé is home to Porto Novo, Benin's nominal capital.
