Offered in: German and 3 more

Welcome to your day on Santiago, the largest island in Cape Verde! This is Don, your German-speaking guide for four years. Together we travel for one day this volcanic island with its bizarre rock massifs : From Praia we go to the 800-year-old and 30-meter-thick giant tree Poilão. From there, we head down the imposing mountain range of the Serra da Malagueta Natural Park to Tarrafal. In this small tourist town we walk over the most beautiful beach in Cape Verde by far. Alternatively, you can also visit the concentration camp from the colonial period.
The conclusion is a Groggu - beer - and fruit juice tasting, which only we offer exclusively!
Our co-guide Edney can speak English, French and Portuguese. Cape Verde has the motto : No Stress! Get in... enjoy.... Take 1000 photos.... tell us more. This tour is ideal for cruisers, e.g. of MeinSchiff and AIDA.
