Bafilo is an important town in the Plateaux Region of the West African country of Togo, located in central Togo, about 260 kilometers north of the capital, Lomé, in the Togolese highlands, with an average altitude of about 400 meters, and a mild climate. As the agricultural center of the region, Bafilo and the surrounding areas are rich in peanuts, corn, cassava and other crops, and are one of the important bases for food supply in Togo. The town has an active traditional market, which brings together agricultural products and handicrafts from the surrounding area, and there is a high level of trade and commerce. In terms of transportation, Bafilo is located next to Togo's main north-south road, which connects Lomé with the northern city of Faye, and is a key node for inland transportation of goods. The local Kotokoli culture, characterized by traditional textile and pottery making, preserves the ancient folklore of West Africa and epitomizes the human and natural experience of central Togo.
