Know before you go

Pick up in the morning at your accommodation, followed by a 1h30 min. road trip to the north side of the island, more specifically to a small village called Ribeira da Prata. The village has the most beautiful black sand beach on the island, complemented by clear blue water. The beach is located not far from the city of Tarrafal, and it is a great place to relax because most of the time there are few people on the beach. After visiting the beach, it will take 10 min. to get to Cuba's Natural Pool, which is probably the most spectacular place to be on Santiago Island. The color of the water is incredible, sometimes blue, sometimes green.
