► Trip to Equatorial Guinea: Bantu cultures and Spanish colonial heritage
🗓️ From 9 to 17 December 2024

On this trip, we will value both the Spanish colonial heritage (a differentiating fact of the destination) and the cultural elements of the Bantu and Creole societies, which populate the island of Bioko and Río Muni (the continental area of Equatorial Guinea).
We will begin the route through the old Fernando Poo Island, the territory of the Bubi and Fernandino (creoles). The landscape of this volcanic island is of great beauty. There, we will investigate the ancient Bubi kingdom of Moka and the colonial remains of the Spanish era. We will jump to Río Muni, the mainland, Bantu Fang territory. These ancient anthropophagi amazed the explorer Manuel de Iradier, who described them in his memoirs.

Tattooed Karen or Kayan monk.

These leg tattoos are becoming rare. 50 years ago, many Karen men got their legs tattooed with religious symbols, but the Socialist regime stopped the practice.

German-Burmese photographer Jens Uwe Parkitny, who Riera Last Places met last week at the Rangoon Hotel to talk about his work, has published a beautiful book about this fading tradition.

We love this image taken by our friend Tanthasindhu during Riera Last Places's prospective trip to tribal Brazil in June 2024. We can observe a Kayapo grandmother painting the face and body of her granddaughter. Behind this beautiful ritual process, there is an objective: to connect the girl to her ancestors and to the Kayapo cosmos. Next step, receive another name from her grandmother. It was a magic moment indeed.

It was just January 2024 that he managed to pe*****te this secluded territory during a prospective expedition. The Nuba Mountains hide a cultural treasure: a beautiful old Sub-Saharan world. The Nuba are alive and the culture is still thriving despite the Civil War, Missionaries, Islam, and economic changes.

► Historical cities, archeology and tribal minorities
🗓️ From 15 to 29 November 2024
👤 Guided by Bego F. Colmeiro

This trip to Pakistan will start at the Afghan border and end at the Arabian Sea. We will visit places away from the tourist circuits without neglecting the iconic ones, such as the Mughal Fort in Lahore or the Sufi Shrines of the south.
The route is designed to follow the trail of numerous cultures that left their mark on Pakistan: the Persian Empire, the Macedonia of Alexander the Great, and the Mauryan Empire are some of them. We will know cultures such as the Pashtun, the Gandhara, the Mughal, and the Mohana, and we will know the gypsy ethnic group in the Indus Valley, where they originate from.

Este viaje a Pakistán empezará por la frontera afgana y acabará en el mar de Arabia. Visitaremos lugares apartados de los circuitos turísticos sin descuidar lugares icónicos como el Fuerte Mogol de Lahore o los Santuarios Sufíes del sur.
La ruta está diseñada para ir siguiendo el rastro de un gran número de culturas que dejaron su impronta en Pakistán: el Imperio Persa, la Macedonia de Alejandro Magno y el Imperio Maurya son algunas de ellas. Conoceremos culturas como la pashtun, la gandhara, la mogol, la mohana y conoceremos la etnia gitana en el Valle del Indo, de donde son originarios.

The Mohana tribe ► The descendants of Mohenjo Daro

The Mohana dominate the calm waters of the Indus River as it flows through the ancient Pakistani city of Sukkur. Their origin lies in the fluvial civilization that emerged between Pakistan and India 5,000 years ago. The builders of the first city on Earth, Mohenjo Daro, must have been very similar to the Mohana.
The men cover their heads with a stuffed bird and dive into the muddy waters to get close to birds that swim near the banks of rivers and lakes so they can catch them.

Tribu Mohana ► Descendientes de Mohenjo Daro

El pueblo mohana domina las tranquilas aguas del río Indo Medio a medida que fluye a través de la antigua ciudad paquistaní de Sukkur. Su origen se encuentra en la civilización fluvial que surgió entre Pakistán y la India hace 5.000 años. Los constructores de la primera ciudad del planeta tierra, Mohenjo Daro, debieron ser muy parecidos a los mohanas.
Los hombres se cubren la cabeza con un pájaro disecado y se sumergen en las aguas turbias para acercarse a las aves que nadan cerca de las orillas de ríos y lagos para atraparlas.

► The resilient Tripura people of Bangladesh

Far in the Chittagong Hill, bordering Myanmar, we find what at Last Places we like to describe as an ‘island of resistance’. The Tripura people, a small Animistic and Hindu ethnic group of 60,000 people, clings proudly to its own ways, regardless of who rules the country where they live.
Tripura women are very fond of ornaments. Some of the traditional Tripura adornments indicate their social and civil status. Both men and women wear silver earrings. Additionally, women adorn their wrists, ankles, neck, nose, and hair with jewelry.

🤝 Meet the Tripura people during our next trip to Bangladesh

► El resistente pueblo tripura de Bangladesh

Lejos, en la sierra de Chittagong, en la frontera con Myanmar, encontramos lo que en Last Places nos gusta describir como una “isla de resistencia”. El pueblo tripura de Bangladesh, un pequeño grupo étnico animista e hindú formado por unas 60.000 personas, se aferra con orgullo a sus propias costumbres, independientemente de quién gobierne el país donde vive.
A las mujeres tripuras les gustan mucho los adornos. Algunos de los adornos tradicionales tripuras indican su estado social y civil. Tanto hombres como mujeres usan pendientes de plata. Adicionalmente, las mujeres adornan con joyas sus muñecas, tobillos, cuello, nariz y cabello.

► The syncretic bwiti religion

Bwiti is a cult or spiritual movement practiced by the Fang tribe of Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon, as well as other ethnic groups such as the Punu and Mitsogo. The etymological root of the word bwiti is a distortion of the word Bo-hete, which means empowerment or release of a fluid. Therefore, bwiti would be that which allows a person to obtain freedom from it. This religion incorporates animism, ancestor worship, and, in some cases, Christianity into a syncretistic belief system.

💥 Do you want to attend a Bwiti ceremony?

During our next trip to Equatorial Guinea from 9 to 17 December 2024, we will witness a bwiti ceremony in the jungle area of ​​Cogo. It will undoubtedly be one of the strong points of this trip to Equatorial Guinea.

ℹ️ More info at lastplaces.com

► La religión sincrética bwiti

Bwiti es un culto o movimiento espiritual practicado por la tribu fang de Guinea Ecuatorial, Camerún y Gabón, así como por otros grupos étnicos como los punus y los mitsogos. La raíz etimológica de la palabra bwiti es una distorsión de la palabra Bo-hete, que significa empoderamiento o liberación de un fluido. Por lo tanto, bwiti sería aquello que permite a una persona obtener su libertad. Esta religión incorpora el animismo, el culto a los antepasados ​​y, en algunos casos, el cristianismo, en un sistema de creencias sincretista.

💥 ¿Quieres asistir a una ceremonia Bwiti?

Durante nuestro próximo viaje a Guinea Ecuatorial del 9 al 17 de diciembre de 2024 presenciaremos una ceremonia Bwiti en la zona selvática de Cogo. Será sin duda uno de los puntos fuertes de este viaje.
