Description complète

Your day starts with a short drive from your accommodation in Praia to the Monte Tchota Natural Park, located at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, where your hike adventure starts. Start the hike through the unspoilt Natural Park, see and learn about the endemic plants and birds, and hike up to 4.2 km to the summit of Pico D'Antónia. With an elevation of 1394 meters, this is the highest point of Santiago Island.
