For all hiking enthusiasts, without major difficulties

Day 1 (Hike: 5 hours - level 3)
Let's start by driving up the old road that goes through the island, the one with the amazing panoramas - the hike starts from a high plateau, and a path will lead us through deserted areas of different shades of red. This is just the beginning of the journey. We can stop for a cheese tasting before heading to our homestay for the night, located in one of the numerous green valleys.

Day 2 (Hike: 4 hours - level 2-3)
After the breakfast, we start our wanderings through two beautiful valleys. Learning some words of Cape Verdean creole allows us to exchange more than smiles with the local farmers we encounter. In Santo Antão, it's impossible to imagine passing by somebody without greeting or saying a few kind words. Once we've reached the village, perhaps played ouril (oware game) with locals on the square or ran errands at the local merceria (grocery store), we meet our family for tonight, and enjoy a delicious homemade dinner. Simple, human, typically Cape Verdean.

Day 3 (Hike: 6 hours - level 2-3)
Let us not miss a second of this wonderful day - we give an early start to one of the most spectacular hikes of Cape Verde: the one along the coast. We are accompanied to the right by the base of steep, if not vertical cliffs, while we are bordered to the left by the endlessness of Atlantic Ocean. Small paths used by shepherds lead us through exceptional landscapes, each curve revealing new surprises. We conceived this tour as the most beautiful of the island.

Day 4 (Hike: 3 hours - level 2-3)
Today, we have a much closer encounter with the greenest and most tropical valley amongst the whole archipelago, the beautiful valley of Paúl.

Day 5
Free day in Paúl, the valley of thousand hikes. We can also visit one of the many grogue distillery of the area, if we don't feel like walking today : )

Day 6
Transfer from our hotel to the harbour of Porto Novo. The ferry tickets back to São Vicente are included.
