In these three countries overlooking the Gulf of Guinea, more than the state borders, it is the morphological variety of a territory other than North to South, from the Atlantic coast to the Sahel, that marks the borders and welcomes different cultures and traditions in a single territorial area that horizontally embraces the three nations.
If the coastal south is the kingdom of voodoo and the fertile hinterland looks favorably on monotheistic religions, in the North it is animism that regulates social relationships and shapes everyday life, including fetishes cults, sacrificial altars and propitiatory ceremonies in which the spirits of the ancestors are called to invoke the generosity of nature in the arid savannahs. A journey through varied populations and landscapes, which in 16 days leads us to discover the best these three countries have to offer. Among sumptuous and participated ceremonies, modern and vibrant cities, markets among the largest in all of Africa, colonial vestiges, stilt villages where you move in a dugout and elaborate architectures whose colors screech with the monochrome of traditional mud and clay constructions.
