The Nature & Local Life Tour takes you on a discovery of Santiago in a totally original way. We start by crossing the interior of the island to Assomada, where you will have the opportunity to observe the bustle of the city and the local atmosphere. We then proceed to the Serra Malagueta Natural Park, where we make a photo stop and go on a short hike to appreciate 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 can meet locals, observe the typical way of life, learn interesting facts about agricultural traditions and, whenever possible, taste simple local products — such as artisanal grog, island coffee or seasonal fruit. It's a rare and authentic opportunity to get to know Santiago beyond the tourist attractions.
Next, we arrive at the tranquil Tarrafal Beach, where you will have time to relax, walk on the sand, or swim in the calm waters of this cove protected by mountains. On the return, we travel along the east coast with stops at Calheta de São Miguel and Pedra Badejo for more stunning views and photographs.
This is a tour that combines nature, culture, and authenticity — perfect for those who value real experiences and moments that stay in the memory.
