Pico de São Tomé, Volcanic peak in São Tomé Island, São Tomé and Príncipe.

Pico Santo Tomé rises 2,024 meters above sea level as part of a massive shield volcano formation extending from the Atlantic Ocean floor.

Portuguese naval officer Carlos Viegas Gago Coutinho, who completed the first South Atlantic Ocean air crossing, gave his name to this mountain on early maps.

The mountain slopes support local agriculture with coffee and cocoa plantations, while the upper regions contain orchids and endemic plant species.

Climbers can choose between two routes to reach the summit, with one path starting at Ponta Figo plantation and another beginning at the Bom Sucesso botanical garden.

The peak features an Afromontane cloud forest from 1,400 meters upward, creating frequent mist conditions around its summit.
