Monte Café is home to São Tomé’s first bottled water plant, Bom Successo, providing our runners with pure, delicious water.

The second stage of 30,6km/22,7km of GlobalLimits São Tomé – The Hemisphere Crossing - started at 6 am with a slight downhill jog through the lush jungle of Monte Café. Runners passed several villages and plantations, glimpsing local life, and crossed beautiful waterfalls before finishing at the former Pousada of Bombaim.

Tomorrow will be our first beach time!
