Santiago Island Tour

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

Upon arrival at Assomada, we will explore its market, featuring fruit, vegetables, and fresh fish. Then, we will cross the Serra de Malagueta Natural Park on our way to Tarrafal.

In Tarrafal, a fishing village, we will visit one of Cape Verde's most beautiful beaches, which once housed a concentration camp during World War II. We will learn about its history at the Museum of the Resistance.

Next, we will enjoy a typical lunch in a restaurant in Tarrafal, consisting of fried fish, stuffed tuna or grouper, vegetables, salad, water, and coffee, all with stunning views of the Atlantic.

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