2.Praia: Baobab Mysterious Tree, Green Valley & Old City Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 53 reviews · 4 hours · from $53

Hike from Praia through Santiago’s green valley to a 400-year-old baobab and historic Cidade Velha with a small local group.

“We loved this walk, its about 2 hours of actual walking but gets you out the city and into nature from Praia. Not a long drive to the starting point and they pick you up at the end of the walk (point to point, not a loop) The area was beautiful and peaceful. Lots of fruit trees and the Kingfisher bird and a money we spotted! Very stoney ground but not too strenuous. Good to wear shoes with proper support for the stones.”

“Manuel is een vriendelijke gids die je rustig de verschillende gebouwen en bezienswaardigheden van Plato laat zien en over de geschiedenis daarvan spreekt. En je een mooi uitzicht over de stad geeft, beide kanten op. Alleen daarom is dit een aanrader, want in je eentje kom je daar niet.”
