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 will also see the Pico de Antonia, the tallest mountain on the island.

Upon arriving in Assomada, we'll explore its market, which offers fruit, vegetables, and fresh fish. Continuing our journey, we will cross the Serra de Malagueta Natural Park towards our next destination: Tarrafal.

In this fishing village, you will find picturesque beaches. However, this area has a historical significance as it was home to a concentration camp during the Second World War. We will learn about its past at the Museum of the Resistance.

Lunch will feature a traditional meal in a restaurant in Tarrafal, consisting of fried fish, stuffed tuna or grouper, along with vegetables, salad, water, and coffee. You will enjoy these dishes while taking in stunning views of the Atlantic.

Finally, we will return to Praia, passing by beautiful bays and deserted beaches, arriving back at your accommodation by 5 pm, concluding an unforgettable day in Santiago.
