Located in the west of Guinea-Bissau, on the Atlantic Ocean, Cacheu is one of the country's oldest cities and an important port and economic center in the northwest region. The city has a rich colonial history, having been an important stronghold for Portuguese colonizers since the 15th century, and was a key hub for the West African slave trade, which is still witnessed by historical monuments such as the 17th-century fortress of Cacheu. As a fishing town, the waters around Cacheu are rich in shrimp and fish, and the fishing and related processing industries are the backbone of the local economy, while attracting tourists interested in history and nature. The city's blend of African heritage and colonial culture, with its narrow streets and colorful colonial buildings, creates a unique atmosphere and a window into Guinea-Bissau's history and culture.
