The next day, we take a boat to the Bijagos Archipelago, a group of 88 islands located off the coast of Guinea-Bissau. The islands are a paradise of pristine beaches, lush forests, and abundant wildlife.
We spend our days exploring the archipelago, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, hiking through the jungle, and spotting exotic birds. We also visit the local villages, where we learn about the traditional way of life on the islands.
