This place is no paradise. With a population of just 113,825, Quilengues is a small, dusty town on the edge of Angola's Central Highlands. Agriculture and livestock are the main economic activities, but the bureaucratic hassles are a persistent headache. The town served as a gateway for the slave trade back in the colonial era, and that history of exploitation still lingers. If you're seeking a quiet, remote life in rural Angola, Quilengues might fit the bill - but it's not for the faint of heart.
