Drive to Aneho region. Historically Aneho was known under the name Little Popo and it had a Portuguese slave market. It later became the first German capital of Togo in the 1880s. It gradually declined in importance after the capital was transferred to Lome in 1897. We can still admire some colonial building and the spectacular view over the ocean.
Then drive to a sacred village inhabited by the Guen. Three centuries ago the Guen arrived from around the city of Accra and brought with them their fetishes. These fetishes are still kept and worshipped in some temples. We will meet with the religious authorities of the village.
Togoville, lying on the northern shore of Lake Togo. It was originally known as Togo. The country took its name from the town of Togoville when Gustav Nachtigal signed a treaty with the town's chief, Mlapa III, in 1884, from which Germany claimed ownership over what became Togo.
Togoville is inhabited by large community of voodoo adepts. Visit to shrines. .
Then meeting with a traditional healer who treats his patients with voodoo rites and herbs. The treatments are effective for almost all diseases, especially for insanity. His shrine is impressive. The endless list of voodoos shows the endless powers concentrated in the site.
A village hidden in the high grasses of the Savannah: at least three generations of adepts are having a Voodoo ceremony. To the hypnotic rhythm of the drums and chants, certain dancers fall into a deep trance: eyes rolling back, grimaces, and convulsions, impervious to fire or pain. Sakpata, Heviesso, Mami Water and other voodoos are showing their presence and taking possession of their adepts.
