Santo Antao Island & Hiking
The most mountainous and verdant island with dramatic valleys, terraced agriculture, and intense multi-day hiking trails.
Santo Antao is a hiker's paradise. The Paul Valley offers terraced banana and sugar cane plantations; the Garça Valley has steep cliffs and waterfalls. The island's interior is green and lush compared to other islands. Multi-day treks link villages; local guides are essential and affordable. The landscape is raw volcanic rock and sudden fertility. The pace of life is slow; villages feel untouched. Small guesthouses provide simple but welcoming accommodation.
