Traveling in and emigrating to Guinea-Bissau

• Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in West Africa. The small coastal state is characterized by several wide estuaries and an economy largely dependent on cashew nuts. A quarter of the country consists of wetlands full of swamps and mangrove forests, savannah in the east and rainforest in the south. There is plenty to do: visit the hectic Bandim market in the capital Bissau, go island hopping among the 81 Bissagos Islands, spot hippos and manatees or sip a cashew rum on a tropical beach.
