Hike Ponta do Sol to Cruzinha
5-6 hours, +600 ´-600, 15 km
The hike from Ponta do Sol via Fontainhas to Cruzinha da Garça is one of the absolute highlights of Santo Antão and is considered the queen of coastal hikes. You start in the fishing village of Ponta do Sol and follow the paved road towards Fontainhas. The impressive road to Fontainhas takes about one hour and is characterized by the huge mountain slopes on its left side and steep abysses on the right. The village of Fontainhas, which seems like an eagle’s nest hanging on the mountainside, is one of the most impressive places in Cape Verde and an absolute must-visit for every Santo Antão visitor. It is also possible to reach Fontainhas by car. Along the way, you will encounter other small villages like Corvo, Formiguinhas, and Cruzinha, which is the endpoint of the hike.
