Guinea Bissau || Why You Should Visit It Right Now
In this video, we are going to give you 5 reasons why you should visit Guinea Bissau Right Now.
Many people confuse Guinea Bissau, that small country on the west coast of Africa, with others like Guinea Conakry, Equatorial Guinea, or New Guinea.
Guinea Bissau, which is listed 7th among the 15 least visited countries on earth, is one of the most amazing countries I have ever visited. This is a place where you can still experience the true and unspoiled Africa, far from large hotels and tourist resorts and among the local population.
Guinea Bissau is a small developing country on the West Africa coast, between Senegal and Guinea Conakry, and was until 1973 a Portuguese colony.
Guinea Bissau, unlike the frequent news associated with political instability, which gives it a negative image, is a safe country, with friendly and welcoming people. Anyway, as in any place, you should be careful to go to certain more isolated places, especially at night.
So, Why should you visit Guinea Bissau?
00:00 **Intro**
01:03 **Reason 1: Just because!**
02:30 **Reason 2: Guinea Bissau has a great archipelago off the coast.**
04:05 **Reason 3. Tourism equals money equals development.**
05:29 **Reason 4. The People and the food**
07:35 **Reason 5. Because it is an undeveloped and unspoiled country.**
In this video, we are going to give you 5 reasons why you should visit Guinea Bissau as soon as possible.

You Have To See These Fascinating Places in Guinea-Bissau ❤️ | Curiosity Juice | Country Tour #71
You will definitely would wish to travel to Guinea-Bissau after watching this video.

Cities
Bissau - capital
Bafatá - Bafata is a pleasant town with an interesting colonial centre, located on the Rio Gêba. Hometown of Bissau-Guinean patriot Amilcar Cabral. Ask around near the old market to visit his house.
Bissora - Bissora is a town in the region of Oio. The majority of people living in the Bissora sector belong to the Balanta ethnic group.
Bolama - capital of the country until 1941, has some magnificent examples of colonial architecture and has been suggested as a world heritage site.
Buba - End of the tarmac going to the south of Guinea-Bissau. The town is built along a tidal river, the Rio Grande de Buba. Decent hotel.
Bubaque - Largest town in the Bijagos archipelago, with hotels and harbor for boat trips to other islands.
Cacheu - Cacheu was once an important place for slave-trading, and there is still a little fort.
Catió-
Farim
Gabú - Bustling, friendly market town with a few nightclubs, bars and hotels.
Key Destinations
- Bijagos Islands - an archipelago of some twenty tropical, beautiful islands. On the island of Orango it is possible to see hippos, and there are many other possibilities of eco tourism on the unspoiled islands. On some islands there are even turtle nesting grounds. Many islands have French-owned fishing lodges.
- Varela - Just south of Cap Skirring, but on the Guinea-Bissau side of the border, it is a tour de force to get to Varela on a 50 km long bumpy dirt road from São Domingos - but it is all rewarded when you reach this little paradise, with a superb Italian-owned hotel, beautiful beaches and pine forests and a very relaxed atmosphere with almost no other tourists. You may contact the small hotel in Varela via their Facebook page: Aparthotel Chez Helene
- Boé Sector - The country's most South-Eastern corner is a mosaic of savannah, forest and farmland. Its remoteness has left the sector underdeveloped, but its Fular/Mandinka population is warm and welcoming. Primates constitute the majority of large mammals in the Boé, chiefly among them a healthy population (possibly 1000+) of chimpanzees. Although they are shy and not habituated to humans, there is a chance for ecotourists to spot humanity's closest relative. The Fonda Huuwa campsite in the main village Béli offers huts and meals at shoestring prices.

VISITING A RICE-FARM IN GUINEA-BISSAU!

🌾K'PAS MALÉ!🌾! I visited a local rice farm in Bairro Militar.
Growing rice is a past time skill that my B'mamba B'rassa (Balanta ancestors) had mastered and brought with them to the Americas in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In fact, most of the rice agriculturalists who were stolen and trafficked across the Atlantic ocean, were from this region of West Afrika called Upper Guinea aka The Rice Coast. I've never seen rice in this form before, so it was humbling to witness the roots of a crop that has been such a cultural staple in my life.
Rice fields are called Bolanha in Kriolo and K'pas male in K'rassa (Balanta language). Also, these bolanha are are community owned, so ka bôntché kbík (It's beautiful to see) cooperative agriculture practiced in Guinea-Bissau, Afrika. In my B'rassa (Balanta) culture, it is a a virtue to share and be generous to thy neighbor...where I'm from, everyone eats. I wish to be a part of a community that mutually upholds these values.

Look at this great scenery and land for farming rice. I hope you enjoy the story for today

Rubane to Bolama Island (Former Portuguese Capital) to Bissau
It was a brutally rough crossing to Bolama and then on to Bissau on small boats in the Atlantic. May I respectfully say that no American tour operator would EVER run a trip like this because of the liabilities?

Guinea Bissau || Small & lovely West Africa Country (Guinea Bissau 2019)
Guinea Bissau is a small Undiscovered West African country, formerly a Portuguese colony. We travel to Cacheu and also to Bijagos. Is a pacific country, with friendly people and nice weather, and don't understand why his small Africa country is so undiscovered.
We will post new videos as soon as we make a trip. We enjoy traveling with our family and friends. Our videos are about the travels we made, and we like to show the most beautiful footages seen to encourage people to visit those places. We aim to produce videos to help people to travel in a budget, linking below the places we have visited.
I'm sorry the lens is so dirty, but it's beginner stuff. I hope we can improve the quality a lot, so we put all the videos. The good ones, the less good ones and the like so :-)

OUR RECENT UPLOAD -
Only 14% of the population speaks noncreolized Portuguese, established as both the official and national language. Portuguese exists in a creole continuum with Crioulo, a Portuguese creole spoken by half the population (44%) and an even larger number speak it as the second tongue, the remainder speaks a variety of native African languages. There are diverse religions in Guinea-Bissau with no one religion having a majority. The CIA World Factbook (2018) states there are about 40% Muslims, 22% Christians, 15% Animists and 18% unspecified or other. The country's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest in the world.
Guinea-Bissau is a member of the United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Community of Portuguese Language Countries, La Francophonie and the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, and was a member of the now-defunct Latin Union.
The town of Cacheu is situated in the territory of the Papel people. The name is of Bainuk origin: i.e. Caticheu, meaning 'the place where we rest'.
Cacheu was one of the earliest European colonial settlements in sub-Saharan Africa, due to its strategic location on the Cacheu river. Cacheu developed a European/Afro-European population from the late fifteenth century through an informal settlement of Cape Verdean and Portuguese traders, adventurers and outcasts (lancados). The authorities in mainland Portugal also sent to Cacheu degredados - people condemned to exile for a variety of offenses.
Notable buildings in Cacheu include the Portuguese-built 16th-century fort, dating from the period when Cacheu was a center for the slave trade.

It borders Senegal to the north and Guinea to the south-east.[7]
Guinea-Bissau was once part of the kingdom of Kaabu,[8] as well as part of the Mali Empire.[8] Parts of this kingdom persisted until the 18th century, while a few others were under some rule by the Portuguese Empire since the 16th century. In the 19th century, it was colonised as Portuguese Guinea.[8] Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with Guinea (formerly French Guinea). Guinea-Bissau has a history of political instability since independence, and only one elected president (José Mário Vaz) has successfully served a full five-year term. The current president is Umaro Sissoco Embaló, who was elected on 29 December 2019.
Only about 2% of the population speaks Portuguese, the official language, as a first language, and 33% speak it as a second language. However, Guinea-Bissau Creole, a Portuguese-based creole, is the national language and also considered the language of unity. According to a 2012 study, 54% of the population speak Creole as a first language and about 40% speak it as a second language.[11] The remainder speak a variety of native African languages. There are diverse religions in Guinea-Bissau. Christianity and Islam are the main religions practised in the country. The country's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest in the world mapa de Guinea Bissau Africa Guinea-Bissau follows a nonaligned foreign policy and seeks friendly and cooperative relations with a wide variety of states and organisations.[citation needed]
Guinea-Bissau is a founding member state of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), also known as the Lusophone Commonwealth, and international organisation and political association of Lusophone nations across four continents, where Portuguese is an official language.[58]

Guinea-Bissau is bordered by Senegal to the north and Guinea to the south and east,[62] with the Atlantic Ocean to its west.[62] It lies mostly between latitudes 11° and 13°N (a small area is south of 11°), and longitudes 11° and 15°W.[63]
