Almost halfway between the capital and Cacheu, some 80 km northwest of Bissau, this town of around 6,000 inhabitants offers a majestic entrance through its tree-lined driveway. You're immediately under its spell. The small town boasts attractive colonial architecture, albeit somewhat dilapidated, and it's pleasant to stroll through its narrow streets. A weekly market, whose day changes every week, stretches along the main avenue. Nature lovers and backpackers can stay at Casa Canchungo, located near a pleasant inlet. It is run by a Frenchman, Thierry.
