The island of Santo Antão, famous for its mountainous landscapes, lush valleys, and scenic trails, is a small paradise for nature and hiking lovers.

It is the perfect destination for those seeking a deep connection with nature and a lifestyle that respects the environment around us.

When to Visit Santo Antão?

Santo Antão enjoys a semi-arid tropical climate, but the higher altitudes ensure mild temperatures and ever-green landscapes. The best months to visit the island are from November to June, when weather conditions are optimal for exploring trails, valleys, and villages. Autumn may bring sporadic rains that, however, regenerate the vegetation and make the views even more spectacular.

International and Inter-Island Connections in Cape Verde

Santo Antão does not have an airport, but it is easily reachable via a ferry crossing of about an hour from the port of Mindelo, on the island of São Vicente. You can board on foot or by car, and tickets can be purchased directly at the port the day before departure. This combination of connections makes the island accessible while maintaining its remote charm.
