The Bijagos Archipelago in Guinea-Bissau is one of the most beautiful in the world. A completely unspoiled place, dozens of islands, most of which are uninhabited, very little tourism, remarkable flora and fauna, and welcoming people. It is also the second most important site for migratory birds in West Africa.
Seen from space through the eyes of our SPOT satellite (1.5m resolution), this archipelago would almost look like a green lung in the middle of this ocean with captivating colors !
