Welcome to São Tomé and Príncipe

• Capital of São Tomé and Príncipe: São Tomé
• Population of São Tomé and Príncipe: 0.2 million - 53rd in Africa
• Size of São Tomé and Príncipe: 964 km2 - 53rd in Africa
• Languages in São Tomé and Príncipe: Officially Portuguese, but at least three Creole dialect (Saotomean, Angolares and Principe) are widely spoken.

The island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe encompasses a volcanic chain that gives it its distinctive topography. The beaches that ring the islands remain some of the main places to visit in São Tomé and Príncipe, with many hidden, deserted strips of sandy coastline serving as perfect getaways for those looking to escape the everyday grind. Much of the nation remains unexplored by tourists and undeveloped, making the lush rainforests and volcanic peaks of the interior particularly atmospheric hiking destinations. The laidback Creole culture of the main towns won't take too long to get used to, but it might take a little longer to shake off after you return home.

Highlights

• Trek through rainforest and cocoa plantations in the islands’ interiors.
• Scale Pico de Sao Tome, at 2,024m the highest point on Sao Tome, for spectacular views of other mist-shrouded peaks  
• Spot endemic birds and orchids around the dried crater lake, Lagoa Amélia.
• Sail out to Rolas Island where you can stand on the equator.
• Go diving among the islands’ pristine coral reefs where you’ll meet giant turtles, rays and hundreds of tropical fish.
• Soak up the atmosphere of Sao Tome town’s bustling market where stalls piled-high with limes and chillies are set against a majestic African flame tree.
