Did you know that a few minutes from the center of Cocody (when traffic is fluid) there is a place where you can totally disconnect from the city of Abidjan and find yourself in the middle of an extraordinary tropical forest? And yes, the Banco National Park covers more than 3 hectares. You will also discover an arboretum of more than eight hundred (800) species of higher plants native to the tropics of Africa, Asia and Latin America. It is a very nice place to ride a bike or walk without leaving Abidjan. Several hikes and activities are available every week in the Banco forest.
