The municipality of Matala, in the province of Huíla, calls for investments that help to value local tourist potential, such as the area surrounding the hydroelectric dam, the historical locations of Kavela, Picalima, Lupa, Caimone, Cuto, Maculungungo and Parque Nacional do Peck.

The municipality is crossed by the second largest river in Angola, the Cunene, whose banks lack leisure areas, promoting fishing recreation and local gastronomy.

In addition to its tourist potential, according to its administrator, Manuel Quilende, Matala has a cultural diversity that still preserves the ancestral wealth, which can attract many tourists.

It highlights the “privileged” geographical location, population density, hydrographic network and arable land, as one of the greater potential that could make the municipality a reference tourist destination.

For the administrator, only with investments will these potential attract new visitors, which is why he invited businesspeople nationals and foreigners to direct their resources to the sector, as they have the “unconditional” support of the local administration of the Status.

Access to Matala, a city 180 kilometers east of Lubango, is via road and railway, in addition to having of an aerodrome with a runway of 1,400 meters, being the link with Namibe and Cuando Cubango.

It has 20 small units, including restaurants, bars and kitchens, 12 guesthouses with 127 rooms. MS
