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.
