Adjohoun, an inland town in the Ouémé Department of southern Benin, is located on the main transportation route between Benin City and Porto Novo, about 40 km from the capital, Porto Novo, and is an important agricultural and trade center in the region. The region is known for the tributaries of the Niger River that flow through it, giving rise to fertile alluvial plains that are rich in cash crops such as cassava, maize, and cotton, as well as fisheries. Ajawere retains the vibrancy of a traditional West African bazaar, with a predominantly Yoruba and Fon population, where handicrafts, traditional fabrics and fresh produce circulate, displaying a strong indigenous cultural identity. As a typical town in the interior of Benin, Ajawere is not as busy as the city, but with its simple people, unique ecological landscape and slow pace of life, it is an ideal window to experience the traditional life of West Africa.
