Le Chien qui Fume
Mont du Chien qui fume
An isolated rock mountain near Dubréka, shaped like a dog lying down. Clouds often drift over its summit, making it look as though it is smoking. You can hike to the top for a view of the bay.
This solitary rock mountain sits in Dubréka, about 50 km northeast of Conakry. Its summit rocks look like a dog lying down, and clouds often drift over the top, which gave it the name 'Smoking Dog'. It is a well-known natural landmark across Guinea. There are guesthouses and viewpoints at the foot of the mountain. Fit visitors can hike up with a guide, taking about 3 to 4 hours return, and enjoy a view over the Dubréka river mouth and the mangroves. It is often visited on the same trip as the Bridal Veil Falls in Kindia.
