SANZALA | TOUR | DURATION: 3h | LEVEL: EASY/MEDIUM
This is a tour for history lovers. It takes a close look at the life and infrastructure of the colonial era.
The history of colonisation in São Tomé and Príncipe was deeply marked by the phenomenon known as Roça.
This expression comes from the Portuguese "desbravar bush", "abrir clareiras", which gave its name to the agrarian structures that underpinned the development of the archipelago during its coffee and cocoa cycle, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
On this tour you'll visit various farming communities, observe the daily life of the local population, the famous train houses, built in colonial times, where African descendants from Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Angola and Mozambique still live to work on the cocoa and coffee plantations on the island of Príncipe.
