Take a last minute holiday to Monthique and pack lots of film, or a camera with plenty of memory.

You will indeed be close to heaven!

And when you come down from the hills you'll find your all inclusive holidays to Monthique can place you in a busy chari vari of people, livestock, local produce, handicrafts, art, artefacts, cuisine and clothes. The town is noted for its large fortnightly market.
