• 15 days in Ghana Togo Benin

Two weeks of unique, fascinating adventure, during which people can have an idea of the most important West African traditional Festival, from vudu celebrations, to Zangbeto, Gelede and Egun in Benin, from the fire dance in Togo, to Akwasidae and Ashanti funerals in Ghana. A full immersion in colors, sounds, parfumes! An extraordinary experience of life and energy!

Being the present and in the present: this capacity of the different populations who live in Ghana-Togo-Benin make them able of celebrating life joyfully.

Collective emotions can fill in particular moments all the villages and the joy of life appears in colors, mouvements, sounds.

Frenetic dances, wild rhythms, masks who walk-dance-run, royal palaces full of dignitaries sumptuosly decorated.

All these special events extend in everyday life and trasform every social moment in a kinf of festival: women and children at the market, believers who go to the mosque or to the church, shepherds gathering around the wells.

The sense of holiday pervade every socal moment and the smile who enlighten the faces is the reflection of sociai relations relaxed and harmonious.

One of the highlights of the trip is the vudu, religion bonr tin the south of Togo and Benin and exported all over the world, beginning from South and Center America, with the slave trade.

The disruptive strenght of trance, the elegance of dresses and hairstyles, the mistery of altars, real simulacrum of different energies, are only some examples of teh richness of spurs that this program can offer.
