Antao is one of the beautiful islands which make up the Cape Verde Archipelago. It is the second largest island with spectacularly dramatic landscape characterised by lush green valleys, pine forests, deep gorges, sheer cliffs, rugged mountains and some fascinating fauna and flora. One of the main highlights is without a doubt the short yet awe-inspiring hike through hidden valleys and secret villages along the ancient coast of this magnificently scenic island. It draws hiking enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. Visitors can also journey to the summit of Topo de Coroa, the highest point of the island standing at 1979 metres.
