Unique experience - I have done 4 trekking day with Natcha, the best tour guide ever, an experience that I would repeat other thousand times . Santo Antao is a unique and special place and it would be a shame not to explore at best what it has to offer, that’s why a local guide is needed. Natcha knows all the ins and outs of the island: the paths, the history, the flora and the fauna. He helped me during the hikes, told me many interesting stories and, best part of all, we could eat a lot of fruits and chew the sugar cane! All kind of kinds that you can't do it without a local. All the hikes were full of positive surprises, meeting and adventures. The landscapes are amazing, food delicious and people are very very kind. I definitely recommend CapeVerde Tours because is a unique and formative experience who gave you adventures and knowledge at once! Thank you, I will never forget it :)
