Porto Alegre

Porto Alegre, a village in the south of São Tomé, translates to ‘happy port’ and offers a glimpse into rural life. Nestled in a secluded setting, it is home to the Roça de Porto Alegre, a former plantation dating back to 1890. Visitors can explore this historic site and learn about the island’s agricultural past. The village also serves as a gateway to Ilhéu das Rolas, an islet known for its equator monument, making it a key point for those interested in both history and geography.
