Travel in Guinea-bissau with Intrepid

Flag
Remote and untouched are two words that would beautifully describe Guinea-Bissau. These words would apply to the country’s incredible forests, unspoilt beaches and remarkable wildlife. Throw in the words uber-friendly, genuine, chilled-out and unique, and you have the impressive country of Guinea Bissau described to a tee.

Guinea-bissau's Top Picks

 
90% of Guinea-Bissau’s income comes from cashew nut crops
 

Top 5 Culinary Treats of Guinea-Bissau

  1. Jollof: The staple meal of Bissau-Guineans is rice cooked with peanut oil and mixed with tomatoes, onions, peppers and chicken or fish.
  2. Groundnut Soup: A moreish blend of peanuts, chicken, garlic, ginger and peppers.
  3. Warga: Join the locals for a cup of this sweet green tea, a daily treat that can’t be missed.
  4. Cashew Rum: Brewed from Guinea-Bissau’s main crop, this is one spirit with serious nut-appeal.
  5. Palm Wine: This local wine can be deceptively strong – drink with caution!
