Dassa is a town in west-central Burkina Faso, part of the Boucle du Mouhoun region, located on the southern edge of the Sahelian zone, with a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons. With a population of about 50,000, the economy is based on traditional agriculture, with millet, corn and peanuts in abundance, and handicrafts such as weaving and ceramics have been passed down for a long time. The town is small but retains a strong sense of traditional West African life, with regular markets at the heart of trading and socializing, as well as ancient indigenous villages and natural landscapes scattered around the area, making it a tranquil window to experience Burkina Faso's indigenous culture.
