카보베르데‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A lovely little botanical garden. Many of the plants on display here are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world but in Cape Verde.

Poilão Park, located in Assomada, Cape Verde, is known for its magnificent kapok trees, which dominate the landscape with their towering presence. The park offers a serene environment, ideal for nature walks and admiring the region's unique flora and fauna. Visitors can explore several trails that showcase Cape Verde's natural beauty. Known for their large trunks and expansive canopies, the kapok trees provide habitat for diverse bird species and contribute to the park's ecological value. This nature reserve attracts both locals and tourists seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. A very large kapok tree stands near the village of Boa Entrada, at the bottom of a valley 400 meters above sea level. It is the largest tree in Santiago, and probably in the entire Republic of Cape Verde. The kapok tree stands approximately 25 meters tall and has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a colony of purple herons.

Impressive crater, the walk around it to the road to Aguas das Caldeiras is also worth it.

Anyone who climbs the switchbacks to the crater like we did will be blessed to be up here! 😅 But this view back into the valley makes up for all the effort.

Long, very pleasant walk along the sea from the port of Sal Rei to the tourist complex of Praia Chaves (3km one way, allow 1 hour)

Ancient tree, according to the Cape Verdeans over 500 years old

Highest point of the island. The last 300 meters are tricky. Advance with caution.

The view from the crater rim is magnificent in both directions. The path carved into the steep slope is well-paved and very easy to walk. At the foot of the descent in Faja de Cima, Ady&Juju rewards you with delicious juices and good organic food.
