Santiago: Cidade Velha Beginner Hike with Lunch

Hike through the lush Ribeira Grande valley to historic Cidade Velha, passing the island’s oldest baobab tree. End with a traditional lunch and a guided grogue tasting at a local family-run business.
This hike combines nature, history, and local traditions in one complete and immersive experience. You walk through the lush Ribeira Grande valley, one of the greenest areas of Santiago, surrounded by sugarcane fields, agricultural terraces, and small rural communities where daily life unfolds at a relaxed pace.

Along the route, you pass the oldest baobab tree in Cape Verde, an impressive natural landmark that reflects the island’s deep-rooted history. The trail gradually leads you toward Cidade Velha, the oldest city in the country and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arriving on foot creates a stronger connection between the island’s landscape and its colonial past.

The experience concludes at Cabral & Martins, a family-run local business. Here you enjoy a traditional lunch prepared with regional ingredients. Your visit also includes a guided grogue tour, where you learn about the production of Cape Verde’s traditional sugarcane spirit, followed by a tasting.

An active and authentic way to discover Santiago beyond standard tours.
