Walk to the Pico do Principe

The highest peac of Principe, at 924.

The peak has only occasionally been explored. The first expedition dated back to 1929. A second trip was made in 1956, but could not make a serious botanical inventory due to poor weather. The 1999 trip found that the mountain rises from a heavily forested plateau with elevation 600 to 700 metres (2,000 to 2,300 ft).


Walk to Infante D. Henrique

The Infante D. Henrique plantation was abandonned shortly before the independance. Today covered with vegetation, it is located 18 Km form the city of Santo Antonio. Along the road to Infante, was pass by Nova Estrela, terreiro Velho and Robeira Fria.

Diving in Principe Island

At the northest area of the archipelago, the Island of Príncipe provides excellent subaquatic moments. Focinho do Cão, Boné de Jóquei, Mosteiros, Gale and the Islet of Tinhosas are the areas to be visited. Although the divings are made in depth, 30-40m, they are not only for the qualified divers, unless the one at the Islet Tinhosas that is recommended only for advanced levels.

Walk to the Mirador de Santa Joaquina

Santa Joaquina consists in a few wooden houses on top of a hill close to old Plantation Bela Vista. In colonial times, as boats approached the island, a horn was played from there to inform the population. Today, nature has taken over the place, and only a small trail remains to reach this awesome view point on the Bay of Santo António.
