Chad
The African Yemen
At Last Places we like to describe as the Yemen of Africa for being a country of proud people, an immense territory largely occupied by desert and for being a complex, beautiful and exciting destination. Chad and Yemen are states with their own roadmap, parallel and out of step with boring globalization.

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.

The country of Buddhist relics that is home to more than 100 ethnic groups
In Myanmar we find societies that until barely a decade ago did not know tourism. Magical animistic rituals make their way through animal bones, like totems. Body modification practices linked to the afterlife, some very peculiar musical traditions, minority semi-nomadic ethnic groups and Tibeto-Burmese aesthetic representations complete the mosaic of this Asian region.

Lake cities, voodoo and tattoed tribes
Tattoos and scarification, Afro-Brazilian architecture and traditional tribes make Benin a must-see Last Places destination. It is an ideal destination to enter Africa. We find lake cities known as the African Venice, the unique Afro-Brazilian style in Benin and Nigeria and the mythologized voodoo, commonly preconceived from a Eurocentric point of view.
