The Nature & Local Life Tour takes you on a discovery of Santiago in a truly original way. We begin by travelling through the island's interior to Assomada, where you will have the opportunity to observe the bustle of the town and the local atmosphere. We will then continue to the Serra Malagueta Natural Park, where we will make a photo stop and go on a short hike to enjoy the vegetation and the mountain scenery.
The route continues with one of the unique features of this tour: a brief experience of local life in a rural community in the northern region. Here, you will have the opportunity to meet local residents, observe the traditional way of life, learn interesting facts about agricultural traditions, and, where possible, sample simple local products – such as artisanal grog, island coffee, or seasonal fruit. This is a rare and authentic opportunity to get to know Santiago beyond the tourist attractions.
Next, we will arrive at the tranquil Tarrafal Beach, where you will have time to relax, stroll along the sand, or swim in the calm waters of this cove sheltered by mountains. On the return journey, we will travel along the east coast, making stops at Calheta de São Miguel and Pedra Badejo for more stunning views and photo opportunities.
This tour combines nature, culture, and authenticity—perfect for those who value genuine experiences and moments that will stay with them.
