Overview
Discover the Bijagós Islands: Africa's Hidden Paradise
The Bijagós Islands, an archipelago of 88 islands, are a hidden gem in Africa. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, these islands remain pristine and untouched by modern complexities. Among them, 23 are inhabited, with 19 considered the main islands. Let's explore this African paradise:
- Rich Culture and Traditions
The Bijagós people live in harmony with nature, preserving ancient traditions in a spiritual and matriarchal society. Women play key roles, choosing their husbands and influencing law, economy, community well-being, and spirituality.
- Unique Practices
From unique housing construction using mud and elevated structures to avoid floods to sacred objects like the 'Hand of the King' representing important deities, the Bijagós people remarkably preserve their customs.
- Eco-Tourism
The Orongo Parque Hotel, a sustainable tourism project, reinvests its profits into the community. It’s an eco-friendly destination celebrating both nature and ancestral practices.
