The trekking in Serra Malagueta was ok. The guide was very friendly, patient and answered all our questions but we expected more information and explanations relating to the area during the trek. We could only spend a few minutes at the Assomada market as they wanted to merge us with another group. So, that was a bit rushed. And there was no grog tasting as the business doesn’t exist anymore but it was still mentioned in the itinerary. So, all in all ok, but we felt we got less than expected for the price.I did a one day walk in Serra Malaguetta National Park organised by BuCountry. The walk was excellent with fantastic views and a helpful guide. We had lunch in a secluded picnic spot in the forest and walked to see outstanding views.

I did a one day walk in Serra Malaguetta National Park organised by BuCountry. The walk was excellent with fantastic views and a helpful guide. We had lunch in a secluded picnic spot in the forest and walked to see outstanding views. I would highly recommend this trip as well as the 6 day tour of Santiago island with BuCountry. They provide an excellent friendly and professional service with great accomodation as well.We hebben een fantastische dag gehad.

We hebben een fantastische dag gehad. In de ochtend werden we opgehaald en we bleken de enige te zijn voor de tour dus we hadden een privetour met eigen chauffeur en gids. De gids sprak fantastisch Engels en we hebben de hele dag met elkaar kunnen kletsen. De hike was tof, mooie uitzichten en de gids vertelde het een en ander over de planten en dieren. Voorafgaand hadden we een stop gemaakt in Assomoda om naar de markt te kijken (alleen op woe en za). Omdat we hike snel hadden gedaan, hadden we nog tijd over en hebben we gevraagd om een stop te maken bij het concentratiekamp in Taraffel. Dit was geen enkel probleem en de gids heeft ons ook hier het een en ander kunnen uitleggen. Daarna hebben we nog 1.5u aan het mooie strand in Taraffel gelegen. Top dag.Cela a été un moment très sympathique ! La randonnée est très accessible, la vue très jolie et la plage de Tarrafal : parfaite ! Notre guide parlait français et était très bienveillant, a l'écoute de nos questions, respectueux de nos attentes.

E um guia muito simpático, jovial e processional. Ele mostro pra nós o meio ambiente de Santiago e conto a história do país. O fim do dia na praia fui agradável. Foi um dia ótimo. Muito obrigado. Eu recommande ele pra todos.
