Serra de Malagueta Hike

We'll pick you up at the indicated time from your accommodation in Praia, and from there hit the road to the Serra de Malagueta Natural Park, an hour away. You'll witness the volcanic Fogo island during this trip.

Over the course of three hours, we'll hike through the national park, exploring its greenery and the Main river, before reaching our first stop: Gongon. Here, village inhabitants will share ancient traditions of Santiago Island.

We will continue our exploration of Serra de Malagueta until we arrive at Espinho Branco, where you'll enjoy sea views and meet the rabelados, a religious community living in isolation since 1942 and learn about their choice to do so.

At the end of the hike, a picnic lunch will await you, including sandwiches, water, juice, fruit, and dessert. We will then return to Praia by bus, concluding the excursion after 5 hours of activity.
