São Tomé & Príncipe

São Tomé is a volcanic island in the Atlantic, painted in overwhelming colors and scents. Nature dominates with deserted black and golden sandy beaches, lush tropical greenery, and shady trails leading up to volcanic peaks and down to rivers. As you hike through the primeval forest, across historic cocoa plantations, and along pristine beaches, it often feels like traveling back to a time when the world was wild, mysterious, and wonderfully unexplored.
