City Centre and Rural Villages

This tour combines the city centre of Praia with the rural landscape around Sao Domingos. Indeed, it pairs the busy capital with the quiet mountains of the interior. Moreover, the whole trip takes about four hours, so it fits comfortably into a port day.

From the Plateau to Monte Txota

The tour begins in the historic centre of Praia, known as the Plateau, the cultural heart of the city. There you see the main political and economic landmarks while your guide explains their significance. Afterwards, the road climbs inland towards Sao Domingos and the Monte Txota nature park. Above all, the contrast between the lively streets and the still green hills makes this tour memorable.
