Daloa: the cocoa capital of the west.

Daloa is where a great deal of the country’s cocoa is traded, a busy commercial city in the forest belt with little that is picturesque and a great deal that is real. For travellers its main function is as the staging post on the long drive west to Man, but the market and the cocoa trade make it more than a fuel stop. 380 kilometres from Abidjan.

A working city, and the gate to the west

Nobody comes to Daloa for the sights. It is the third-largest city in the country, it runs on cocoa, and it is where you stop before the last stretch to Man. Treat it as what it is — a good place to sleep, eat well and see an Ivorian city that has nothing to do with tourism.
