Pico Basilé in Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
Pico Basilé, located on the island of Bioko, is the tallest mountain of Equatorial Guinea. With an altitude of 3011 m, it is the summit of the largest and highest of three overlapping basaltic shield volcanoes which form the island.
Climb Pico Basile to enjoy sweeping views over the entire island from its highest summit. Accessible by guided tour only, the peak features a statue of the Virgin carrying baby Jesus on her back, in the style of African tribes.
Pico Basilé lies close to the city of Malabo. The very top is used as a broadcast transmitting station for Radio Television Guinea Ecuatorial and microwave relay station for various communication networks.
The peak forms a part of Pico Basilé National Park, created in April 2000. The boundaries of Bioko Norte and Sur runs near the summit.
Bioko was formed along the Cameroon line, a major northeast-trending geologic fault that runs from the Atlantic Ocean into Cameroon. This line includes other volcanic islands in the Gulf of Guinea such as Annobón, Príncipe and São Tomé, along with the massive stratovolcano of Mount Cameroon. Unlike the three other islands which are extinct volcanoes, its last eruption occurred in 1923.
Part of the Cameroon line, the flora and fauna of Pico Basilé and Bioko as a whole are similar to that of the montane regions of adjacent Cameroon and Nigeria. Multiple range restricted species occur on Pico Basilé, and one bird, the Bioko Speirops Zoterops brunneus, is wholly restricted to the volcano's higher elevations.
The island was inhabited in the middle of the first millennium BC by Bantu tribes from the mainland, who formed the Bubi ethnic group. Unlike other islands in the area, Bioko had an indigenous African population. The Bubi speak a Bantu language. The island has probably been inhabited by this or other Bantu-speaking groups since before the 7th century BC.
In 1472, the Portuguese navigator Fernão do Pó was the first European to sight the island while seeking a path to India.
The first ascent of the mountain by Europeans was made by English commanders between 1827 and 1828 under the Owen expedition. Its first official ascent was made in 1839 by the British John Beecroft who was later governor of the island that was once Fernando Po, now Bioko.

About Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea is a small country located on the west coast of Africa. It is made up of two main regions: Bioko Island, which is where the capital city of Malabo is located, and Río Muni, which is on the mainland. Equatorial Guinea is a country of contrasts, with a rich history and diverse cultures. It is also a country with a rapidly growing economy, thanks to its oil and gas reserves.
Equatorial Guinea is not a major player on the world stage, but it is important for a few reasons. First, it is located in a strategic position on the Gulf of Guinea, which is a major shipping route. Second, it has a large oil and gas industry, which is important for the global economy. Third, it is a member of the African Union and the United Nations, which gives it a voice on the international stage.
Equatorial Guinea's reputation around the world is mixed. On the one hand, the country is often praised for its economic growth and its potential as a future oil and gas producer. On the other hand, Equatorial Guinea has been criticized for its human rights record and its high level of corruption.
Overall, Equatorial Guinea is a country with a lot of potential. However, it also faces some challenges, such as corruption and poverty. The country's future reputation will depend on how it addresses these challenges.
The History of Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea has a long and complex history, dating back to the 15th century. The first Europeans to arrive in the region were the Portuguese, who established a trading post on Bioko Island in 1472. The island was then known as Fernando Poo.
In the 17th century, the Spanish took control of Bioko Island. They also established a colony on the mainland, which was known as Río Muni. The Spanish ruled Equatorial Guinea for over 300 years.
In 1968, Equatorial Guinea gained independence from Spain. The first president of Equatorial Guinea was Francisco Macías Nguema. Macías Nguema was a brutal dictator who ruled the country for 11 years. He was overthrown in a coup d'état in 1979.
Since 1979, Equatorial Guinea has had a turbulent history. There have been several coups d'état and the country has been plagued by corruption. However, the country has also made some progress in recent years. The economy has grown significantly, thanks to the discovery of oil and gas reserves.
Equatorial Guinea is still a young country, but it has a lot of potential. The country has a young and growing population, and it is located in a strategic position on the Gulf of Guinea. If Equatorial Guinea can address its challenges, it could become a prosperous country in the future.

The St. Elizabeth's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on Independencia Avenue in the city of Malabo the capital of Equatorial Guinea, home of the Archdiocese of Malabo. It is considered the largest Christian church in the nation. Its construction began in 1897 with donations from parishioners, commercial companies and the Spanish government, for it was one of its colonies.

Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: Guinea Ecuatorial;[a] French: Guinée équatoriale; Portuguese: Guiné Equatorial), officially the Republic of Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: República de Guinea Ecuatorial, French: République de Guinée équatoriale, Portuguese: República da Guiné Equatorial),[b] is a country located in Central Africa, with an area of 28,000 square kilometres (11,000 sq mi). Formerly the colony of Spanish Guinea, its post-independence name evokes its location near both the Equator and the Gulf of Guinea. Equatorial Guinea is the only sovereign African state in which Spanish is an official language. As of 2015, the country had an estimated population of 1,222,245.[12]
Equatorial Guinea consists of two parts, an insular and a mainland region. The insular region consists of the islands of Bioko (formerly Fernando Pó) in the Gulf of Guinea and Annobón, a small volcanic island which is the only part of the country south of the equator. Bioko Island is the northernmost part of Equatorial Guinea and is the site of the country's capital, Malabo. The island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe is located between Bioko and Annobón. The mainland region, Río Muni, is bordered by Cameroon on the north and Gabon on the south and east. It is the location of Bata, Equatorial Guinea's largest city, and Oyala, the country's planned future capital. Rio Muni also includes several small offshore islands, such as Corisco, Elobey Grande, and Elobey Chico. The country is a member of the African Union, Francophonie, OPEC and the CPLP.
