Discover São Tomé and Príncipe

Straddling the equator in the Gulf of Guinea, São Tomé and Príncipe is one of Africa's smallest and most peaceful countries.

Volcanic peaks rise from dense rainforest, much of it protected within Obô Natural Park, home to endemic birds and plants found nowhere else.

Historic cocoa plantations — the roças — tell the story of the islands, once among the world's leading cocoa producers, while quiet beaches and fishing villages reveal everyday island life.
