Tucked within the lush tropical forest of the Eastern Region, near Koforidua, lies Boti Falls, a majestic pair of waterfalls that are more than just a natural wonder. They are rich in history, legend, and cultural meaning. Often referred to as the "Male and Female Falls", Boti is both a spectacular sight and a sacred place for the surrounding communities.

Boti Falls is formed by the River Pawnpawn, which cascades over a rocky cliff into a deep, scenic valley. What makes it especially unique is that it consists of two side-by-side waterfalls, one larger and more forceful (referred to as the male) and the other slightly smaller and gentler (referred to as the female).

When both falls are in full flow during the rainy season (June–August), they sometimes collide at the base, creating a fine mist. This phenomenon is locally called “the mating of the falls”, a rare natural spectacle celebrated by visitors and locals alike.

Boti Falls is not just a tourist site. It is a place of spiritual importance to the Akyem people, the custodians of the land. According to oral history, the area was once sacred and off-limits to non-initiated visitors. The falls were believed to be the dwelling place of river spirits, and local priests often performed rituals to honor the spirits and seek blessings.

During colonial times, the British discovered the falls while exploring the Eastern Region and later helped create trails and access roads. However, it wasn't until post-independence Ghana that Boti Falls began to receive national attention as a tourist site, especially under the efforts of Ghana’s tourism authorities in the 1990s.

The area now includes a visitor center, guided tours, picnic areas, and access to several nearby eco-attractions.
