Príncipe, with a port capital in the north, and a vast uninhabited forest in the south, you will discover on your arrival, nature rules here. Santo António, its delightful small capital, and pretty location sits astride a river that empties into a narrow bay, creating an emerald isle accented by fantastic beaches.
Imagine raw phonolite towers of various shapes punching through the forest, forming a crazy skyline, and making the entire island feel like Jurassic Park. Hike the walking trails that will take you back to the origins of Príncipe, or explore the old cacao plantations, some overgrown as the forest reclaims its shape.
