Bubaque
The main town and gateway island of Guinea-Bissau's Bijagós Archipelago, Bubaque sits within a region recognised by UNESCO and is known for its wildlife and extensive forest cover. Much of the island floods at high tide, giving it a shifting, wetland character. The archipelago as a whole draws independent travellers, and Bubaque — walkable and close to the water — serves as the practical base for exploring it.
