Africa >> West Africa >> Cape Verde >> Santo Antão

Santo Antão is one of the Cape Verde islands.

Santo Antao is a surprising island. When you land at the ferry port it appears to be dusty and sandy like many of the other islands but in half an hour you can be driving up steep, windy roads and suddenly find yourself in pine forest and skimming the edge of a volcano! Much of the island is unexplored, but the best part to head for is the north east corner where there is great hiking. In Ponto do Sol you can scuba dive, hike or rock climb in a very picturesque setting. Accommodation is inexpensive and would suit all budgets. There used to be an airport but now only the runway remains, you can easily reach this island by ferry from Mindelo on Sao Vicente.
