Must-see locations
A volcanic jewel in the heart of the Gulf of Guinea
São Tomé and Príncipe is one of Africa’s most confidential countries. Located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Gabon, this volcanic archipelago offers spectacular nature, still largely intact. Dense tropical forests, wild beaches lined with palm trees, hidden waterfalls and impressive rock formations, such as Pico Cão Grande, make up an almost unreal setting.
Ranked among the most preserved destinations on the continent, the country appeals to travelers in search of authenticity, ecotourism and total disconnection. Here, mass tourism does not exist: the experience is intimate, immersive and deeply disorienting.
