Parque Natural Obô do Príncipe, Nature park in Principe Island, Sao Tome and Principe.
Parque Natural Obô do Príncipe is a forest reserve covering large areas of Principe Island with thick tropical vegetation and steep volcanic terrain. The landscape varies between different forest zones and supports a wide range of wildlife.
This protected area was officially established in 2006 to safeguard Principe Island's natural resources. The designation marked an important commitment to preserving the forest from exploitation.
Local people see this place as central to protecting their island's natural heritage. Visitors can observe how the community maintains its connection to these forests.
Visits require a guided tour arranged with authorized operators, and certain days have restricted access. Prepare for humid conditions and uneven terrain by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing.
The reserve is home to many plant species found nowhere else in the world, making it exceptionally rare. This isolation has created a living laboratory of evolution that few places on Earth can match.
