Once vibrant, bustling, epicenter for cocoa and coffee plantations, São Tomé has had its share of economic troubles. Until recently, the nations primary source of revenues was in fact agriculture, with cacao as its main export. São Tomé is now in the process of rebuilding their economy and continues to have open, warm, and welcome arms for visitors. 


Today, our tour will include Roca Agostinho Neto (coffee farm), Roca Monte Forte, Blue Lagoon, a Cacao Plantation, and Discoveries Landmark.

Itinerary:

Roca Agostinho Neto is a coffee farm that was once the biggest plantation of its time. The road leading here is stunningly scenic as are the views approaching the pastel pink building. The plantation's sheer size is something especially amazing. Here you'll find plenty of life, as there are a number of locals who live here and are as excited to see you, as you are to see them!

Next, on our agenda, we will stop off at Roca Monte Forte, a spot near the beach and a local fishermen's village. Roca Monte Forte is a working plantation located in the dry zone of western São Tomé. 

The Blue Lagoon here in São Tomé is possibly the most famous site on the island. Here, you're surrounded by unique trees, flora, and crystal clear blue water that you're likely to have all to yourself. 

Of course, our day tour is not complete without a visit to a cacao plantation. Cacao was once a giant industry for the small nation of São Tomé & Principe. Although the industry has been neglected in the last while, there are major efforts happening to regenerate the land and boost its production. There is a large majority of the land that is currently designated and used for the cultivation of cacao. Today, you're able to appreciate the process and enjoy learning about one of, if not the most important crop in São Tomé.

Today will also include a stop at Discoveries Landmark, another spot that is rarely visited. Here we will spend some time and appreciate the scenery. 

Once our tour is complete, you will be dropped off at your hotel.
