Santiago Island Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Praia at 9 am and head 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.

In Assomada, we'll explore the market, which is abundant with fruit, vegetables, and fresh fish. Continuing, we'll cross the Serra de Malagueta Natural Park on our way to Tarrafal.

In Tarrafal, known for its beautiful beaches, we'll learn about its history as the site of a concentration camp during the Second World War at the Museum of the Resistance.

Lunch will be served at a restaurant in Tarrafal, featuring fried fish, stuffed tuna or grouper, vegetables, salad, water, and coffee, all while enjoying views of the Atlantic.

We’ll return to Praia via picturesque bays and deserted beaches, arriving back at your accommodation by 5 pm, concluding an unforgettable day in Santiago.
