Description

Embark on a day of thrilling adventure through the most impressive and unspoiled landscapes of Santo Antão. Thanks to the agility and power of our 4x4 vehicle, you will discover the island from a totally unique perspective, combining adrenaline, comfort, and breathtaking panoramas. From the very first kilometers, the scenery opens up to the verdant Cova crater. Our 4x4 will allow us to stop at the best vantage points of this true natural balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. You will then continue your ascent along the legendary and impressive Corda road. Built on the mountainside, this paved road will take on a whole new dimension aboard our off-road vehicle, leading to the breathtaking vantage point of Delgadinho, where the deep valleys unfold before your eyes. The journey continues downhill to Ponta do Sol, a peaceful fishing village nestled between the sea and cliffs. This is where the advantage of the 4x4 is felt: we will gain altitude on steep tracks to reach Fontainhas, famous for its colorful houses suspended on the mountain, listed among the most beautiful villages in the world. Next, you'll explore the lush Paul Valley. Our vehicle will take us to the heart of this unique green setting where traditional crops, sugar cane plantations and tropical scents mingle. In the late afternoon, head for Ribeira Grande and Porto Novo along scenic roads, where this total and exclusive immersion in the heart of the most mountainous island of the archipelago comes to an end.
