Hiking
Magnificent hike with breathtaking viewpoints. Very few hikers encountered (2).
The hike is a bit demanding due to the significant elevation gain. The round trip in a day is tiring but doable.
We took three and a half liters of water for two people. In the small village of Pico Da Cruz, you can take a break for drinks at the small local bar. After that, you just need to climb to the viewpoint over Sao Vicente and the coast of Santo Antao.
