Great country bordering with thousands of kilometers of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, consisting of a vast interior plateau with average heights of about 1.200/1.500 meters above sea level.
After a long civil war after independence from Portugal, the nation is now growing strongly, thanks to oil revenues and important raw materials, of which Angola is a major producer.
The capital Luanda is a city in considerable demographic and economic expansion.
However, in much of the country lacks the basic structures such as roads and railways, and large areas are virtually isolated or difficult to reach.
The coastline and unspoilt areas of which Angola is rich are a starting point for a large tourist and economic development.
