Caluquembe, Angola

With a population of 169,420, Caluquembe is a bustling town in Angola that requires thick skin and a healthy tolerance for bureaucracy. The municipality is home to both Catholic and Protestant missionary efforts, including a Bible school and hospital run by the Swiss Alliance Missionaire Evangelique. However, the subtropical highland climate can be a persistent headache, with cool, wet conditions year-round. While Caluquembe may appeal to those drawn to its religious institutions, the challenges of daily life here are not for the faint of heart.
