Roça Água-Izé
One of the most impressive and historic plantations on São Tomé, recognizable for its imposing architecture and the important role it played in cocoa production. Its ruins and buildings preserve the memory of an era that profoundly shaped the island's history.
Boca do Inferno
A natural phenomenon sculpted by the sea, where the Atlantic waves penetrate forcefully between the rock formations, creating an impressive spectacle of water and sound.
Praia das Sete Ondas
Known for its dark sand and a landscape dominated by green hills and coconut trees, Praia das Sete Ondas gets its name from the natural phenomenon that allows you to observe seven lines of waves breaking simultaneously.

Micondó Beach
A wild beach of extraordinary beauty, surrounded by tropical forest and lush vegetation. Its virtually untouched environment makes it one of the most peaceful and authentic spots in São Tomé.

Pico Cão Grande viewpoint
