Make your way through the lush forest to Wenchi Crater Lake. Once an active volcano, the caldera now contains water in which you can swim and admire the scenic green cliffs rising all around. Alternatively, take a hike in the hills overlooking the lake, where you'll see waterfalls and natural springs. Traverse through intact nature, farmlands, and nearby villages. A short boat ride takes you to one of the islands in the crater, home to a 13th-century monastery.
