The journey
Go trekking along the trail of Antonia's Peak, the highest peak in Santiago (1394m). Walk through the wilderness to reach the top, where you may find yourself surrounded by clouds and rewarded with excellent views. This beautiful walk is best enjoyed between mid-August and early December, with late October usually being the greenest and most picturesque time. Along the trail, meet local people and engage with them.
From one of the highest points on the island, enjoy excellent views over the terraced agricultural areas, the isolated villas below, and the islands of Fogo and Maio.
