Cocoa plantations reclaimed by rainforest on a pair of volcanic islands almost nobody has heard of, beaches with sea turtles nesting and barely another footprint in sight, and a chocolate-making tradition dating back to the colonial plantations that first planted the trees.
The best time to visit São Tomé and Príncipe is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (84°F).
