Monstrous peaks that envelop and amaze, long green valleys contrasting with arid desert landscapes, canyons that tear the ground mercilessly, long black sand beaches, volcanic calderas covered in green, breathtaking trails, streams that run through the island from end to end...welcome to Santo Antão, the island of the mountains!

Santo Antão steals hearts as much for its dramatic and eclectic beauty as for the friendliness of its people. Still little explored, this island guarantees incredible adventures for adrenaline lovers (mountain biking, sport fishing, trekking, etc.), and tranquillity for those who just want to relax in the midst of nature and breathe in the pure mountain air.

From the mountain-studded coastline of Porto Novo, the freshness of the pine trees of Pico da Cruz, the volcanic crater of Cova, the zigzagging trails enveloped by the scent of eucalyptus to Passagem, the magnificent Paúl Valley, Ponta do Sol with its spectacular sunrises and sunsets, Fontaínhas and its nature-defying houses, the remote village of Montrigo (the westernmost town in Africa!), the possibilities are immense. Explore at your leisure.

You can't leave without trying fresh goat's cheese, the traditional Santo Antão grog or a variety of regional liqueurs, a good fresh fish broth with local vegetables (yams, manioc, breadfruit, green banana) and seasonal fruit jams or jellies.

Come and feel Santo Antão with us!
