Just off mainland Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, the Bijagos Islands offer travelers a chance to see a truly remote part of the world. Designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the archipelago has a rare and diverse natural beauty. Carache features sandy beaches lined by lush forest. At low tide, villagers from Ampincha gather sea scallops that wash up on the sand banks.
