African village where every house - a work of art

Our planet is full of places where tourists rarely drop, but not because there is nothing to look at, but because of the isolation of the region. It is in this place is one of the village in the West African country. Website talks about the unique village called Tebel.



countries with an unusual name Burkina Faso is rarely visited by tourists, so few people know about the small village Tebel area of ​​1, 2 hectares, which lies at the base of the hill in the vast sunlit savannah West Africa.







Noteworthy this village office (one of the oldest ethnic groups in Burkina Faso), their houses - huts fashioned out of clay that are painted the traditional patterns and designs. Also village is the seat of "royal court" ethnic Kass, the first mention of which dates from the 15th century.



The village is very isolated and virtually closed to outsiders. Rather, it is done in order to preserve the unique local traditions, art and architecture. Although many people advocate for Tebel to open for tourists to get to the village, and today is very problematic.



If we can reach an agreement with local elders about the visit to start is to know what to wear any garment red color and take an umbrella from the sun is prohibited. These attributes are the privilege of the rulers.



The village has a real "royal palace", although it is worth noting that the royal residence in West Africa - was not something that used to in Europe. There Cours Royal Palace - a few small adobe buildings, completely covered with complex geometric patterns of colors of natural origin. This is done in order to distinguish these structures from the homes of ordinary people.



Kitchen "palace" is a very simple and differs from conventional kitchens in West Africa except that several additional clay and iron pots. Most of the dishes are prepared in one pot on the grill. Usually local people eat thick porridge fufu from cassava, sweet potato or corn, which is fed to the hot sauce of vegetables and peppers.



Surprisingly, some of the most ornate buildings in Tebel uninhabited, and act as a kind of mausoleums for dead.
