Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau sits quietly on West Africa's Atlantic coast, a flat, forested country where rivers thread through mangrove estuaries and the sea defines as much of daily life as the land does. Cashew orchards dominate the interior, and the offshore Bijagós Archipelago — a scatter of low islands — gives the country an almost amphibious character.

About Guinea-Bissau

Overview

Bordering Senegal to the north and Guinea to the south and east, Guinea-Bissau is one of West Africa's smaller nations, with Bissau as its capital. Portuguese is the official language, though Crioulo functions as the everyday lingua franca. The country uses the West African CFA franc, shared with several neighbours, and its economy revolves largely around cashew exports.
