Excelente visita à plantação de banana e visita à casa da mãe Luísa (confeção de gastronomia local). Recomendo esta experiência para estar em contacto com a cultura da ilha/região. O guia Ayrton, o Cleber e as estagiárias proporcionaram um momento muito agradável de partilha cultural e aprendizagem.

It is hard to say in words how happy I am of choosing Bu Country Tours to manage my time in Santiago island.
I visited Cabo Verde for the first time and wanted to explore some islands. I came to Sal island and started to find possibilities to travel to other islands. It wasn’t so easy. And when I was almost getting to give up I found Bu Country Tours! The team who works there are simply AMAZING.
I wrote and email to them on Saturday and on Sunday I was on my way to Santiago! Amazing speed, communication and care. They are taking care of you as a family member. All the time I was getting an updates on WhatsApp and this is so comfortable. Actually they treat me so well that I haven’t think about nothing.
I had the most amazing experience in local family and hiking.
My biggest THANKS for my amazing Guide Ailtom. He is so honest, funny and made my days so special here. I have a sensation that I spend 2 days with the long time no see friend.
My highest recommendations for this team and the Guide Ailtom.
Best of luck for everybody guys! I am already in love with the Santiago island and all of you. ♥️
