HEZA WASHING STATION

Switch-backing up mountainsides and across small, hand-built log bridges, visiting Heza Washing Station at 1960 MASL can be likened to an off-road adventure. To say Heza Washing Station is ‘remote’ would be an understatement and yet the community that lives in the surrounding hills is a special one, comprised mostly of coffee farmers. Heza means ‘beautiful place’ in Kirundi, the local language of Burundi. With panoramic views and an ever-changing East African sky, this washing station lives up to its name.
