About Us

We explore the last places on Earth and live with its inhabitants

Last Places is a travel agency, fruit of 25 years of coexistence with the last traditional ethnic groups in the world. Observing, respecting, intuiting and even coming to understand these societies has made us reach the conclusion that their disappearance would be a defeat for all of humanity. At Last Places we use responsible tourism, collaborative projects and dissemination as means to try to preserve cultural diversity, recover identity pride and empower the last cultural groups with their own worldview; with unique ways of relating to the environment that surrounds them, of embellishing their bodies and interpreting the world.

South Sudan

The artisan tribe

The Larim, known to their Toposa neighbors as Boyas, split from the great Murle nation after an argument over dinner. One Murle clan had invited another clan, but the other clan was not satisfied by how little gazelle meat was in the soup. They were offended and decided to migrate west. They settled in a mountainous area with plenty of water and fertile land. This is how the Larim tribe emerged, one of the most beautiful and unknown in South Sudan.

Ethiopia

Menit tribe; the Nuba of Ethiopia

The Menit tribe lives between the fertile mountains of Shasha and the Omo River Valley. Its economy is based on agriculture. Within this village, the 'kola' group lives more isolated and is dedicated to raising cattle. The 'kola' spend part of their free time decorating their bodies. The beauty of these paintings and the physiognomy remind us of the images of the Nuba of Sudan photographed in 1974 by Leni Riesfenstahl.

Mali

The country of masks that hides much more

This region presents an outstanding gradient of ecosystems, from the majestic Sahara desert -which functions as the country's northern border-, passing through the arid zones of the Sahel, to the green and fertile southern region, bathed by the colossal Niger River. And in relation to ethnic groups, it should be noted the nomadic group of the Fulani, who populate much of the Sahel, and of course the Dogon people, one of the most enigmatic tribal groups in sub-Saharan Africa.
