Descrizione
Explore Serra Malagueta Natural Park on a guided hike from Santiago Island. Enjoy a picnic, visit the Rabelados community, and take in stunning views from the Antena viewpoint.
Depart from your accommodation and head towards the interior of the island. Make your first photo stop at the Picos municipality viewpoint, with one of the most stunning views on the island.
After a 1-hour drive, reach Serra Malagueta Natural Park, the second highest point on the island (1,064 meters), and begin your hike at 750 meters above sea level.
During the hike, enjoy nature and the cool climate, discovering local flora and fauna with your local guide. After an hour and a half of walking, reach the Antena viewpoint, with fantastic views of the east coast, where on clear days, you can see Maio Island.
