This was a lively morning hike with tea and biscuits at the end with great views of Mindelo. Paolo gave us so much background about the people and the island; we wished we had done the tour at the start of the holiday as it made us appreciate and understand the place so much better. Highly recomm...

Do not pay 65€ for this trip ! Take in Mindelo at the African market an aluguer (little bus for locals) for 1€ to the base of the mountain and climb up 2,5 hours, down 1,5 hours. Than wait for a aluguer, taxi or hitch hike back to Mindelo !
