Hiking from Lameirão to Madeiral - Discovering the wild landscapes of São Vicente

Departure at 8.30 am from your hotel in Mindelo. After a short transfer by vehicle, we reach the peaceful village of Lameirão, the starting point of our hike. We begin our ascent through a semi-arid landscape typical of São Vicente, dominated by volcanic rock formations and ochre and golden valleys. Along the way, we enjoy panoramic views over the island, with the silhouette of Monte Verde in the background and the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. As we make our way along, we pass through isolated rural villages, where the locals still practise traditional agriculture. We then descend to Madeiral, a more fertile valley where the vegetation becomes more abundant, contrasting with the aridity of the surrounding mountains. At the end of the hike, we continue on to Calhau, a fishing village of authentic charm, bordered by the ocean and frozen lava flows. Here, we enjoy a local lunch in a typical restaurant, where you can sample Cape Verdean specialities based on fresh fish and local produce. After this well-deserved break, return by vehicle to Mindelo
