HIKE BIRDWATCHING TOUR+ BEACH BARBECUE TOUR
Written By Ramiro Neto
The hospitality of the Sao Tome people awaits you in a small archipelago with much to discover. Paradisiacal beaches of clear water, splendid vegetation and a unique fauna mirror the natural beauty of this region.
The Portuguese colonial heritage remains well represented in the local architecture and mountain fields. Locally produced coffee and cocoa aromas add even more charm to this route, which will lead us to know Lagoon Amélia at 1448 meters high.
