  Getting to the equator of the earth in São Tomé e Príncipe is an adventure. Be ready for hiking and trekking, plus a soak in the blue water of the island.

  A great place to adventure yourself with friends and relatives. Getting to the main landmark of the island, the Equator landmark is thrilling. The beaches are spectacular. Everywhere you glance from this point presents you with spectacular sceneries your eyes have never seen.

  I don't like being a captive hotel guest and despite the amazing location, there is only one hotel on the island and they don't treat people very nicely despite the outrageous rates.

  Paradise little island, right on the Equator line. The only (official) way to get there is the boat that is running from the Sao Tome island, Ponta Baleia. It is organized by the only resort on Rolas Island, Pestana Equador, but locals from Porto Alegre will sail you, too, for a fee you would agree upon. There are also a few locals living on the Rolas Island, some of them willing to take you around on a guided tour. If you chose to explore on your own, you will find small deserted paradise beaches or beautiful views form the cost line.

  Dirty as everything else in ST&P, but VERY beautiful. The equator landmark is in ruins as expected, but it's still very much worth the trip.
