Ho-ho-ho! Who’s in such a rush in this bright sleigh? But mainly: in what city do they zoom with so much reindeer-power? Tell us and you’ll get post from the race’s destination.

The third candle of the Advent wreath is already burning and you know what that means: time for another riddle. Most of the time, the “sleigh” pictured here does not transport presents. No, this is the most inexpensive and popular mode of public transport in the city of our search. It also plays a very special role beyond public transport, though. Share taxis of the type and speed shown here can only be found in this city.

All participants who recognized that the European looking square on the photo is in Salvador-Bahia will be receiving a personal card from Brazil in their post box in a few weeks.

So: Where is this taxi headed?

This quiz is already over. The correct answer was Dakar. To see the next picture in our Advent quiz, click here.
