Santiago Island Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Praia at 9 am, heading inland into Santiago island. We'll pass through Picos, where we'll stop to try locally made grogue, a white rum made from cane sugar. You'll also see the Pico de Antonia, the tallest mountain on the island.

Once we arrive at Assomada, we'll explore its market, filled with fruit, vegetables, and fresh fish. Then we'll cross the Serra de Malagueta Natural Park on our way to Tarrafal.

In Tarrafal, we'll find a beautiful beach, which was also the site of a concentration camp during the Second World War. We'll visit the Museum of the Resistance to learn about its history.

Lunch will be at a restaurant in Tarrafal, featuring fried fish, stuffed tuna or grouper, vegetables, salad, water, and coffee. While dining, you'll enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic.

Finally, we'll return to Praia via scenic bays and deserted beaches, arriving back at your accommodation by 5 pm, concluding an unforgettable day in Santiago.
