December 25, 2025,Wanderung Kapverden Santo Antão 3-Paul Tal

Our destination today is the Cova volcanic crater, high above the Paul Valley.

So we don't need a car today and hike uphill from the house. It's drizzling a bit, and the basalt stones paving the roads everywhere are proving quite slippery.

At Pontinha, we turn onto the hiking trail towards the crater.

February 19, 2026,🇨🇻 Santo Antáo - Paúl Tal

A short circular hike in the lush Paúl Valley. Passing tropical vegetation of bananas, coffee, sugarcane, dragon trees, and more... and the last hike 😮‍💨 on Santo Antão before flying on to Santiago. 🫠 😃
