Cote d'Ivoire: Overview
The most powerful attraction of the Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Ivory Coast') is its people, so if you're interested in African history, art or music, this is the place to be. There's also a whole lot of physical beauty, from towering mountains to fishing villages, easily reached on some of the best roads in Africa.
