Forikrom Boten Caves and Shrines

Forikrom Boten Caves and Shrines is a range of giant rocks that forms a shrine and cave complex near Forikrom in the Techiman Municipal District of the Bono East Region, Ghana. The site lies roughly eight kilometres off the Techiman–Nkoranza road, which makes it a short detour from one of the region's main northbound routes rather than a standalone destination on a signposted circuit.

The complex is described as haven-like: a formation of large boulders enclosing sheltered spaces that have served both as a shrine and as caves. The largest of these is known locally as the "Magic cave," and Bono tradition holds that it sheltered women and children during times of war. That association places the site within the wider history of the Bono people, including the Bono–Asante wars of the eighteenth century and the era of trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic trade.

The Boten Shrine at Forikrom is listed among the cultural and natural heritage sites of the Techiman area by the Nkwantananso Cultural Centre, the University of Michigan's Techiman project. The Bono East Regional Director of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Joseph Appiagyei, has described the Forikrom Boten Shrine and Cave as one of the region's untapped tourism sites, noting that ownership and other issues have made development difficult at some sites. Writing in a Modern Ghana feature, anthropologist Jobila M. Zakari observed that the Forikrom rock cave could be tested archaeologically to confirm ancient habitation in relation to a slave raid garrison.

For visitors, that combination is the point: a rock formation with living shrine significance and an unresolved archaeological question attached to it. Because the site is characterised in official and press accounts as untapped, facilities, guided interpretation, opening arrangements and any fees are not documented in the available sources, and no coordinates have been verified. Travellers should treat access as something to confirm locally in Techiman or Forikrom before setting out, and should approach the shrine with the respect owed to a site of continuing cultural meaning.
