WHY VISIT GUINEA-BISSAU
You will thus be able to discover with amazement the 88 islands of the archipelago of the Bijagos, inhabited by different ethnic groups with almost intact traditions. Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these islands are the refuge of unique marine life and flora, as well as terrestrial species such as the sea hippopotamus. Some of these islands host many tourists, such as those of Bubaque or Caravela, while others remain confidential and little visited, such as Canhabaque. The vegetation that grows there, cheesemakers and flamboyants, is home to rare monkeys.
On the mainland, it is mainly around the Corubal river that you will concentrate your discoveries on: authentic villages, falls of Cusselinta, monkeys, and birds.
You can also stroll in the capital Bissau, if the political context allows it, marked by the traces of its colonial past, and which offers a market full of animation and colors, like that of Bafata a little further east.
