Serra Malagueta: Intermediate Hike with Lunch

After pickup from your accommodation, you will travel comfortably to the nature reserve Serra Malagueta Natural Park, one of the greenest and most impressive mountain areas on the island. As soon as you breathe in the fresh mountain air, the hustle and bustle of everyday life gives way to peace, space, and panoramic views.

The hike starts on a quiet path and gradually leads you upwards toward the second-highest point of Santiago. Along the way you walk through green valleys, past traditional agricultural terraces and over quiet mountain paths where you hear only the sound of the wind and birds. Step by step the island unfolds in its full width before your eyes, with views that reach as far as the coastline and the Atlantic Ocean.

Along the way, your guide will share stories about the local flora, agricultural traditions, and daily life in the Cape Verdean highlands. The pace is pleasant and the route is accessible to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness—ideal for those looking to combine nature, tranquility, and impressive panoramas into one special experience.

After the hike, you will enjoy an extensive, typical Cape Verdean lunch at Pam de Terra. Here you can taste local specialties in a relaxed atmosphere, a perfect end to a day full of nature, fresh mountain air and unforgettable views.
