Description
Enjoy a pickup from your accommodation and travel towards Cidade Velha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a guided walking tour of the São Filipe Fortress, the former slave market and the famous Banana Street with its thatched houses. Next, learn the local cuisine with a Local family in the interior of the island and cook the delicious Cape Verdean couscous, a traditional cake made from corn flour. After the workshop, drive through the mountains with photo stops at the villages of Picos, Assomada and Serra Malagueta Natural Park. Be dazzled by incredible views from 1000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea level before you arrive at Santiago's most beautiful beach, Tarrafal beach. Here, swim and relax on the shore surrounded by hills and palm trees. Stop for a delicious lunch and then drive along the beautiful east coast road and, if available, at your own expenses, refresh yourself with fresh coconut water at the largest plantation in the country. The tour ends with a drop-off at your accommodation.
