Like Locals: Banana Plantation, and Cuscuz with locals

5.0/5 Praia from Bu Country Tours

Take this incredible tour moving around like locals, enjoy the largest Banana and coconut plantation of Cape Verde and visit a local rum distillery.

Be picked-up at your accommodation in Praia and have a scenic drive to Santa Cruz.
After being picked up from your accommodation in the city of Praia, you will drive inland to Santa Cruz. Upon arrival at the largest banana and coconut plantation in the country, you'll take a walk inside the agricultural fields while your local tour guide explains the varieties of fruits and plants that are on the plantation. If available, at your own expense, you can refresh yourself with fresh coconut water and organically grown local bananas.
Next, you will head to the nearby city of Orgu00e3os, where you will be warmly greeted by a friendly local family, embracing unmatched island hospitality. You will have the opportunity to indulge in local cuisine and unveil Cape Verdean gastronomic secrets while savouring La Morabeza creole. Learn how to cook the local Cuscuz, a traditional cake made from cornmeal, and Fidju00f3s, a delicious treat made from banana mixed with wheat.
Following the workshop, you will embark on a scenic drive through rocks and valleys, as your guide narrates local history and captures the beauty of the surroundings, before returning to your accommodation.
