3 Underground Attractions in Western Ghana


From Accra, it will take a 4-hour drive or a 50-minute flight to get to a Western region town and book a hotel. In Takoradi, if you're willing to go beyond the Twin City of Sekondi-Takoradi, you might just get an opportunity to tour the country's underground mines. These tours are limited to small groups of 8-10 people.

1. Tarkwa Goldmines
The mine is located in the southwestern part of the country, in a place called Tarkwa Basin. It is about 92 km from Takoradi and 300 km from Accra. One of the oldest goldmines in the country, Tarkwa was founded in the 1800s. Above ground, one can easily see the mills where gold is extracted from the rocks. There are 6 pits in this goldmine: Pepe, Atuabo, Mantraim, Teberebie, Akontansi, and Kottraverchy.

2. Prestea Goldmines
About 40 km from Tarkwa, on the west bank of Ankobra River, is another goldmine called Prestea. The mining industry in this populous town has been active since 1873 and the mines have become its top tourist attraction. Sadly, the mines have also caused environmental problems such as toxic contamination of the river. Aside from an underground tour, tourists are welcome to witness the process of purifying and shaping gold. You can also enjoy a game or 2 at the tennis courts and the 18-hole golf course nearby.

3. Nsuta Manganese Mines
The third largest manganese mine in the world, Nsuta, can be found 20 km from Tarkwa. Unlike the first 2 mines, Nsuta makes use of open cast mining methods so you'll be able to see exposed minerals as they are transported to the crushing plant. The extracted minerals are then shipped via train to Takoradi for export. Aside from the mines, you can also enjoy Nsuta's swimming pools and 12-hole golf course.

If you're a bit claustrophobic, you can choose to stay at a Takoradi hotel. You have 2 ways of spending your holiday or free time between business meetings while in the city. First is exploring the bustling Market Circle and witnessing how different cultures — local from the Ahanta, Nzema, Evalue and Fante, and foreign from the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Brandenburg-Prussians — influence the daily lives of the residents. Another option is hanging out at the numerous bodies of water that can be found in this coastal town. Here, you have a long list of beaches, lakes, lagoons, and swamps where you can just chill, dive, fish, engage in exciting water sports activities, or observe the lives of crocodiles, turtles, and even whales. You can also opt to stay at RaybowInternational Hotel in Takoradi to see contemporary local art by Ghana's visual artists.

It truly has gone a very long way and is now undeniably urban from head to foot.

As such, for tourists coming to the city, this means there is no shortage of fun things to do and places to discover while you stay. It doesn't matter what you fancy doing because there is something for everyone for sure.

Here is a shortlist of what to do in Makati to get you started:

Visit the Ayala Museum in Greenbelt

Do you like things golden and shiny? Head to the Ayala Museum, the one place that houses the best gold collections in the entire archipelago. Soak in some culture while marveling at the beauty of ancient artifacts such as sashes, earrings, and masks that belonged to early Filipinos. There is truly nothing like it. How can it be when you are talking about stuff that were around for the past 700 years? You can find items made of gold similar to the drawings in the Boxer Codex. The codex refers to a 16th century book containing drawings of ancient Filipinos across the country. Do you want to know the best part of all this? The museum is inside a mall so there is no hassle in getting there.

Get ready to shop

Speaking of malls, what is an urban metropolis without a mall? It seems Filipinos are fond of shopping, the huge concentration of malls around a given area attesting to the fact. It is no different in Makati; it is a shopping paradise, with one mall connected to another, and another, and another. Try going to Greenbelt, Landmark, Glorietta, and SM Makati to find a variety of items from the branded ones to the more affordable stuff. As mentioned, these malls are connected via bridges, so shoppers easily move from one place to another. You better come in comfortable footwear.

Hit the weekend markets


They say you really get to know a place and its people by visiting its market. If this saying is true then Makati is undoubtedly a real fantastic place. Its two weekend Markets, the Salcedo and Legazpi weekend markets offer the best in the metro. Brimming with good food, fresh and organic produce, homemade crafts, international cuisine and more, these markets definitely hit the spot. Make sure to stop by if you are staying in hotels around the area like GuijoSuites Makati.
