Adventure in the Bissagos Islands

In the secret lands of the Atlantic, off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, where the infinite blue of the ocean meets the lush green of the islands, a rare jewel hides: the Bijagos. Designated as both a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this preserved archipelago of 88 islands, mostly inhabited uninhabited and sacred, offers a unique immersion in pristine nature. Between pristine beaches, mangroves, and tropical forests, let yourself be captivated by this living spectacle. On Caravela, Carache or Canhabaque, encounters with the Bijago people reveal a culture where nature is sacred. Every bird call, every reflection on the water becomes an ode to the beauty and harmony of these exceptional lands.
