This short movie of Santo Antao is a great introduction to this island. Santo Antão offers dramatic mountain scenery and is ideal for a hiking holiday. Using a local guide is recommended. You will arrive in Porto Novo by boat from Mindelo on the island of São Vicente. The caldera at Cova and the Ribeira do Paul provide some of the best hiking and wonderful scenery. The coastline is also rugged and dramatic. There are interesting diving opportunities on the island. The island is a contrast to the popular tourist islands of Sal and Boa Vista. When planning your Cape Verde holiday, consider visiting the island of Santo Antão.
