Reise in die Magie Togo - Benin • 8 Tage |
||||||||||||

Eine Woche in zwei Länder am Golf von Guinea reisen, die zwar klein aber dafür nicht minder interessant und
überaus reich in kultureller Hinsicht sind. Diese Reisen bieten sich besonders gut für Personen an, die einen
ersten Kontakt mit Westafrika bekommen möchten.
Auf der Reise werden wir Priestern, Heilern und Orakeln begegnen; wir werden Feuertänze, Initiationsriten und
alt hergebrachte Zeremonien sehen sowie Menschen in Trance erleben. Der Vodún, der hier Teil
des Alltagslebens der Menschen ist, hat seinen Ursprung in diesen Ländern und kann deshalb authentisch erlebt werden.

Enjoy a trip that will take you to the women and men of Burkina Faso who keep on perpetuating their ancestral traditions everyday: The Gurunsi women who paint beautiful frescoes on the walls of their houses, the Lobi who still build fortified houses, or the tiny villages where the Bwa
