The Mafa Mountains of Bécédi Brignan come in male and female forms according to the belief of the Akié people of the locality. The female mountain is 600 meters high and smaller than the male mountain, which reaches 800 meters. At the foot of the Mafa Mountains, there is a small, inexhaustible watering hole whatever the season. Before climbing these mountains, the guardians of the place require a rite of purification of the body and spirit.
