Rio Cacheu
Rio Cacheu, a significant
river in Guinea-Bissau, flows for approximately 257 kilometers, with the Canjambari
River as its main tributary. Once a vital commercial route, the river
is still navigable by large ships for nearly 100 kilometers inland.
The Cacheu River
Mangroves Natural Park, established in 2000, is a Ramsar site since 2015, protecting
the largest mangrove forest in West Africa. This ecological haven safeguards
fishing resources and shelters diverse flora and fauna, including a haven for
migratory birds.
While the immediate area around Rio Cacheu offers limited nightlife and
shopping, nearby towns like Cacheu provide glimpses into local culture and
hospitality. Explore local markets and interact with friendly residents to
immerse yourself in the region's charm.
