From a small permaculture farm to unpaved roads in Burkina Faso

With a group of friends, we came to Burkina Faso as a result of a 2 years project call Compagnons (https://compagnons.sgdf.fr/) over the theme of agro-ecology and permaculture.  Burkina Faso is a country located in West Africa which became a self-governing colony in 1958 and obtained its independence from France in 1960. We volunteered three weeks in a local farm/association and saved a week at the end to backpack around Burkina Faso. We were welcomed by a local association AIDMR which promotes agro-ecology and permaculture around Burkina Faso. They picked us up at the airport and helped us organize this trip. As most roads are very difficult to travel by car, we hired a 4 wheels car and a driver to help us reach the farm and explore the surrounding area. During the last week of our trip, we traveled mostly by bus and occasionally rented motorbikes.
