About E-Bike Tour: Rabelados Community + Ancient Kapok Tree

This e-bike sightseeing tour starts with a shuttle from Tarrafal up to Assomada, the lively market town in the green heart of Santiago, where you'll have time to explore the bustling local market.From there you ride out to one of Cape Verde's true natural wonders: the Poilão de Boa Entrada, a majestic kapok tree over 500 years old and the largest in the whole archipelago, standing in a rare year-round green valley fed by a natural spring.The route then rolls along the island's east coast toward Espinho Branco, home to the fascinating Rabelados — a community that famously rejected colonial rule and still lives by its own traditions, welcoming visitors with handmade souvenirs and striking artwork made from recycled materials.After a full day of riding, culture and unforgettable scenery, a shuttle from Achada Monte brings you back to Tarrafal.
