Guinea-Bissau - Level 3: Reconsider Travel

Guinea-Bissau, located on the west coast of Africa, is characterized by its low-lying terrain and extensive network of rivers. The country is primarily made up of coastal plains interspersed with swamps and mangrove forests, particularly along its numerous estuaries, or rias. Inland, the land rises slightly to form plateaus, such as the Bafatá Plateau in the center of the country. The highest point, Monte Torin, is only 262 meters above sea level. Guinea-Bissau's many rivers, including the Geba, Corubal, and Cacheu, create fertile floodplains and estuaries that are essential for agriculture and fishing.
