Guinea-Bissau, nestled on the west coast of Africa, is characterized by its unspoilt islands and mixed culture. The capital, Bissau, combines the ancient with the modern, with its colorful markets, Portuguese colonial vestiges and lively neighborhoods. The Bijagós Islands, an offshore archipelago, are home to exceptional biodiversity, pristine beaches and traditional villages.
Traditional music, such as the morna, and lively dances reflect the soul of Guinea-Bissau. The floating markets on the Cacheu river offer a unique experience where fishermen sell their produce from colorful pirogues.
