Jaren's Trip to Ouidah

The Health and Environment sectors took a day trip to Ouidah, former slave trade port and birthplace of Voodoo. The day was spent going around to the different museums, sites and monuments including the former Portuguese fort built in the 1600s; the Sacred Forest for Voodoo believers; the Python Temple (again for Voodoo believers); the auctioning-off site of slaves; and the UNESCO World Heritage site/monument for the slave trade.


Pictures of the above can be seen here:
