Departure and return from the ferry harbor in Porto Novo

Your guide will be waiting for you at the Porto Novo harbor upon the arrival of the ferry from Mindelo. The old panoramic road ascends into the mountains, offering views of Sao Vicente and unique lava landscapes, before the scenery transitions abruptly into lush greenery.

Throughout the excursion, weather permitting, you’ll have fantastic views unlike any you’ve seen before. Revel in the breathtaking scenery of the crater with its vibrant agricultural fields, and be awe-struck by the magnificent vistas of the canyons at Cha de Mato. Next, you’ll explore the town of Ribeira Grande, renowned for its colonial architecture and former status as the economic and cultural capital of the island. Continuing on, the journey leads to Ponta Sol city, characterized by its historic buildings, where we’ll stop for lunch.

Following lunch, our next destination is the Paul Valley, the gateway to the lushest valley in the archipelago. As we drive amidst sugar cane fields and orchards of mangoes, papayas, bananas, and more, you’ll soak in the stunning scenery. Before returning to the harbor via the newly constructed coastal road, we’ll visit a distillery and sample the renowned local rum, known as “grogue.”
