Trindade is one of the few possible destinations in Sao Tome that’s not on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.Instead, this small town sits high above the capital, atop the rising ridges of the inland hills.
It’s surrounded by the great swathes of coffee plantations and cacao growing fields (the main economic drivers here) that make up the larger Me-Zochi District.
However, it’s the haunting and dilapidated character of the old colonial frontispieces that really strike visitors to the town – they stand like ghosts of a former age all along the pot-holed roads.
