About São Tomé Island
São Tomé is the larger of the two islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, an equatorial volcanic island of rainforest, old cocoa plantations and quiet beaches.
São Tomé lies just north of the equator in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of central Africa, a green volcanic island about 50 kilometres long that rises to the Pico de São Tomé, 2,024 metres high. Portuguese navigators found it uninhabited around 1470, and it grew rich on sugar and later on cocoa. The capital stands on the north-east coast, with the fort of São Sebastião, built in 1566, which houses the national museum, a cathedral and a lively market.
