Info & Hinnat
Ympäristö
Tarrafal offers impressive natural scenery and smiley, humble people. Although it is lacking a "city-like" feel like Praia, there are plenty of things to do and see.
Diving and snorkeling, a trip to the former concentration camp, The "Farol" or lighthouse is located off of the north-western coast of Santiago, The Serra Malagueta mountain range. We highly suggest that you hire a tour guide for trekking in this area
