Bicurga is a town in west-central Equatorial Guinea, located in the western part of the country's continental region (Río Muni Province), near the border with Cameroon, in a tropical rainforest climate zone with high temperatures and heavy rains throughout the year. As a small administrative and commercial center, its economy is based on agriculture and forestry, and the surrounding area produces cash crops such as cocoa and coffee, as well as tropical timber. Although small, the town retains a unique blend of Equatorial Guinean cultures, with Spanish and Fang spoken by the local population, and traditional crafts and tribal customs surviving. Although tourism has yet to be developed on a large scale, the unspoiled nature and simplicity of the people provide a unique perspective for exploring the interior of Equatorial Guinea.
