Lagos, meaning “lakes” in Portuguese, is Africa’s most populous city and Nigeria’s former capital. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, this area originated as a complex of waterways, islands and sandbars. As the population expanded, so did land reclamation projects, connecting these isles to make a metropolis. Now Nigeria’s center for commerce and business, its humble fishing origins can be seen in the presence of small boats in the city’s creeks and lagoons. Nature can still be found amongst this booming community, with the city boasting the longest jungle canopy trail in Africa.
