Another day, another hike – today heading for Chã de Igreja and the sea … another great hike up and down valleys – a total of 11km (600m up, 850m down).

On arrival on Santo Antão yet another bus was waiting for us and we made our trip up into the mountains with some great views of the island (and beyond) along the way. We eventually made it to a guesthouse near Coculi, where lunch was waiting for us.
After lunch we started today’s hike … an easy 6km (500m up, 450m down) up and down the valleys with great views – destination of the day being our accommodation in Caibros.
