Benin, the Birthplace of Voodoo, is a West African nation of 13 million people with its capital in Porto-Novo. The cradle of the ancient Dahomey Kingdom and one of Africa's most culturally rich destinations, it captivates with the UNESCO-listed Royal Palaces of Abomey — a testament to the powerful Dahomey Empire — the sacred Voodoo temples and ceremonies of Ouidah, the unique stilt village of Ganvié on Lake Nokoué, the wildlife-rich Penjari National Park, and a proud Fon, Yoruba, and Bariba cultural heritage.
