São Nicolau

São Nicolau boasts beauty throughout the island. Its landscapes are breathtaking. It is home to Monte Gordo Natural Park, where you can find dragon trees, a tree species almost extinct in the wild.

The island is perfect for hiking enthusiasts. Besides Monte Gordo, must-visit spots include Carberinho, Igreja Matriz, the picturesque town center of Ribeira Brava, and the Royal Prince Fortress. Although not famous for its beaches, São Nicolau has its hidden gems. Praia de D’Boche Rotcha is an excellent destination for beach lovers seeking peaceful moments.

You can reach São Nicolau by domestic flights within Cape Verde (as it does not have an international airport) or by ferry boat.
