One of the easiest trekkings on the island to explore the Natural Park Obô de S. Tomé and the high-altitude primary forest. From Bom Sucesso, headquarters of the Natural Park Obô de S. Tomé, we take the trail towards Lagoa Amelia (1475 m.). The crater is the main source of the rivers that cross the forest of the island in various directions and has an unknown depth. By the way will delight with the flora, giant begonias, arborescent ferns and also by the species used in traditional medicine that stand out by the healing power they possess. Also pay attention to the endemic birds of the high-altitude forest.
On the return way visit the Botanical Garden of the Natural Park Obô to know the various medicinal plants, endemic and of commercial interest.
