Sodo is a stopover town on the road from Omo Valley after Shashamene, in the direction of <a href="/ethiopia/">Arba Minch</a> or <a href="/ethiopia/">Jinka</a>. I only stopped there to have lunch, and to be honest, there's nothing special to do there. There are a few hotels for those driving south, but stopping here isn't really essential as there aren't any tourist attractions.
If you have to make a stop, you ought to go to a local bar to see folk dancers and musicians. Sodo is a town known for its traditional Wolayta dances with large hip movements, as opposed to Amhara or North Ethiopian dances which involve moving the shoulders and the head.
