Anisoc is an important town in the province of Kientem in the mainland region of Equatorial Guinea, located in the northeastern part of the country, adjacent to the Gabonese border, in a tropical rainforest climate zone, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year, and dense vegetation. As a regional center of agriculture and trade, the local economy is based on the cultivation of cash crops, such as cocoa and coffee, and a small amount of forestry activities based on forest resources. The town is small, but because of its location on a cross-border corridor, it plays a role in the flow of goods in the region. The local population speaks mainly Fang and Spanish, and the culture is a blend of original tribal traditions and colonial influences, with distinctive folklore. The pristine natural landscape surrounding Anisoke lends itself to ecotourism exploration and is one of the windows into the interior of Equatorial Guinea.
