Porto Novo walks

A beautiful hike to discover the island of Santo Antao, with no difficulty in finding your way on a wide path.

Climb up the cliff that closes the Ribeira das Patas cirque to reach the Norte plateau. Descend via the Bordeira do Norte trail, one of the most impressive paths in the archipelago.

A hike with plenty of elevation gain from the Cova de Paùl crater. Can also be done uphill. A good introduction to mountain culture in Cape Verde and water management.

This is a typical route for exploring the island of Santo Antao.

Hike to reach the small village of Cha de Igreja from Boca des Ambas. Magnificent panoramic views of the landscapes of Santo Antao. This hike is less well known than the coastal trail or the descent from Cova to Paul, but in my opinion, it is well worth the effort. Hike with few navigation difficulties (paved path).

This hike allows you to visit the hinterland of Santo Antao, passing through various small villages and offering a glimpse of Cape Verdean agriculture in Santo Antao, particularly the terraces clinging to the mountainside.

A superb hike along the ocean on a paved path on the island of Santo Antão in Cape Verde. A coastal hike from the small port of Tarrafal and its black sand beach to the village of Monte Trigo. This village is only accessible via this paved and very steep path, or by boat from the sea.

On the island of Santo Antão, a hike along the coast, on a trail overlooking the sea at all times, certainly the most beautiful route in Cape Verde... Fontainhas, Cruzinha, Cha de Igreja.

This walk takes you to the Farol de Dona Amélia lighthouse, located at the westernmost point of Sao Vicente (Cape Verde). Starting from Sao Pedro, this walk begins along a magnificent white sand beach, then the path clings to the side of the rock with the ocean below until you reach the lighthouse. This is a very easy hike, which can be done as a round trip along the same path.
