\u25ba Tribes that we will meet along the trip<\/h3>\n

Plain Muila and Mountain Muila<\/h4>\n

After introducing ourselves to the soba (traditional chief) we will visit the the Plain Muila<\/a><\/strong> village. The women of this ethnic group are the ones who decorate themselves the most with colored necklaces and complex hairstyles. During this trip to Angola, we will also meet the Mountain Muila<\/strong>, who are more traditional than those of the plains.<\/p>\n

\"detail<\/p>\n

Gambue<\/h4>\n
During this trip to Angola, we will be able to meet the Gambue tribe. The Gambue<\/strong> have similar customs to their Muila and Handa neighbors. One of them is the use, by women, of bead and clay necklaces<\/strong>. They also have complex hairstyles<\/strong>, which indicate the marital status of each woman.<\/div>\n

Dimba<\/h4>\n

The Dimba<\/strong> are a cattle-raising society that inhabits the savannah around Cahama. The women keep the typical hairstyles<\/strong> that have an air of Melanesian headdresses. On this trip to Angola we will spend some time with them to learn about aspects of their daily life. We will have the opportunity to learn about their music<\/strong>, since they are famous for being great lovers of religious songs and dances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cubal<\/h4>\n

The Cubal<\/strong> are a semi-nomadic group, whose economy is based on livestock and agriculture. It was the last ethnic group to succumb to the Portuguese in colonial time. Cubal women wear an original and unique headdress<\/strong>, called \u2018ompota\u2019 and they also use belts to tighten their breasts, as a bra, called \u2018oyonduthi\u2019. During this trip to Angola, we will have the opportunity to meet the Cuban tribe.<\/p>\n

Ngendelengo<\/h4>\n

The Nngendelengo<\/a><\/strong> are semi-nomadic herders, hunters and subsistence farmers. Living in a forested environment has allowed them to develop a rudimentary charcoal business. Machetes are an essential part of their attire, which is complemented by large crests<\/strong> as a hairstyle for unmarried boys and multiple topknots<\/strong> for women. During this trip to Angola, we will have the opportunity to admire the traditional hairstyles of the Ngendelengo people.<\/p>\n

\u25ba We will admire the giant baobabs of southern Angola<\/h3>\n

Colonial architecture<\/h4>\n

The Portuguese were in Angola from 1575 to 1975 and left a cultural legacy<\/strong> of great anthropological and architectural interest. The churches and forts in the Baroque style, the Art Deco<\/strong> buildings of the coastal cities and the \u2018tropical modernism<\/strong>\u2019 style that lasted from 1945 to 1975 stand out. Angola’s architecture allows the traveler to discover its Portuguese colonial past. During this trip to Angola, we will have the opportunity to admire different examples of Portuguese colonial architecture.<\/p>\n

Vernacular architecture<\/h4>\n

In addition, we will enjoy the vernacular architecture<\/strong> that the different tribes that we will visit during the trip to Angola continue to practice.<\/p>\n
