The city is located in a volcanic landscape with a tropical arid climate, with an average annual temperature of about 25°C. The surrounding mountains are green for a short period of time during the rainy season (August-October), while during the dry season the landscape is predominantly yellowish-brown. Picos is an important gateway to the mountainous interior of the island of Santiago, and the highway connects the capital city of Playa with the main port of Tarrafal.

The weekly open-air market is the centerpiece of the region's economic vitality, trading agricultural products and handicrafts.

Tourist Highlights

Picos is surrounded by nature hiking trails overlooking the Atlantic coastline, and the nearby villages are known for their traditional music and hand weaving. Due to its less developed and untouched landscape, it is becoming a stopover for travelers exploring the culture of Cape Verde's interior.
