Acalayong

Overview

Not much of a tourist destination, Acalayong, the southernmost town of Guinea Equitorial sees very few tourists. Getting there from Bata or Mbini involves some hard work. There is little to see during the eight hour journey from Bata. The road is in a pretty deplorable condition, practically swallowed up by the dense jungle which closes in on both sides.

Acalayong consists of some fifty huts huddled on the shore of a broad estuary. There are some pirogue (dugout canoe) that can take you across the estuary to Gabon some even have outboard motors.
