Paul Valley Hiking Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Ribeira Grande. From there, we will travel by minibus to Cova-Paul-Ribeira da Torre Natural Park.

During the tour, we will hike through the Paul Valley, an oasis with vegetation on the slopes of the Cova de Paul crater, which has a diameter of one kilometer, making it the largest crater in the archipelago. Over three hours, we will walk along the edge of this crater and observe the local agricultural fields.

We will stop to enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean and the natural formations in this region of Cape Verde. Following a zigzagging path, we will proceed to the lowest part of the natural park, where vineyards, sugar cane, and plantations of banana, mango, avocado, and coconut can be seen. This marks the end of our hike through the valley.

Before returning to your hotel, we will visit a rum distillery to taste the traditional rum of Santo Antão, grogue. The excursion will conclude around 2 pm.
