One of the most attractive spots in the region is the Casamance River, famous for its maze of picturesque coves and lagoons. It is dotted with small islands, lush mangrove areas, forests and a verdant estuary. It's a wonderful place for walking, cycling or canoeing. During the dry season, it becomes a refuge for millions of migratory birds.

Another must-see attraction is the superb Cap Skiring beach, with its fine white sand. A visit to the surrounding villages will enable you to meet the local people, who will always welcome you with a warm smile.
