San Carlos is a port city in the Littoral Province of Equatorial Guinea, located on the southwest coast of the island of Bioko. As an important shipping hub in the country, its natural deep-water harbor is responsible for the export of agricultural products such as cocoa and coffee. The city is surrounded by dense rainforest and has a unique volcanic landscape.
The city was founded by Spanish colonizers in the late 19th century and retains its colonial architectural style. The economy is based on agriculture and port logistics, but in recent years, with the development of the oil and gas industry in Equatorial Guinea, the Port of San Carlos has become increasingly important for energy transportation. The port is rich in tropical fruits and fisheries.
San Carlos is situated on the back of the 3,008-meter-high Santa Isabel Volcano (now known as Pico Bassi Volcano) and adjacent to the Lore Mountains National Park. The tropical rainforest climate maintains an average annual temperature of 24-28°C. The area is extremely rich in biodiversity and is an important area for observing the unique flora and fauna of the African continent.
