Yombo Terminal
The
Yombo Terminal isn't your typical tourist destination.
Located 23 nautical miles southwest of Pointe Tchitembo, this offshore facility
is an FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) unit. The busy Yombo
Terminal serves as a vital part of Congo's oil industry, with the FPSO vessel
"Conkouati" handling oil exports for export
tankers. While the terminal itself might not be on your sightseeing list,
consider exploring Brazzaville for a taste of Congolese culture and natural
beauty. Visit the National Museum to
delve into the region's history, or admire the unique architecture of the
Basilique St. Anne. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Réserve
Naturelle de Gorilles de Lésio-Louna-Léfini, a haven for
riverine forests, diverse birdlife, and even hippos.
