Hoe kom je hier?<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The journey is part of the stay.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Kasa d\u2019Vizin sits in Eito, a village in Paul Valley on Santo Ant\u00e3o. There is no airport on Santo Ant\u00e3o, so you come by sea from S\u00e3o Vicente. Below is the simplest route.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Step 1<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Fly to S\u00e3o Vicente<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Europe \u2192 Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora Airport (VXE)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Santo Ant\u00e3o has no airport, so you fly to S\u00e3o Vicente first. From the airport a taxi brings you to the ferry terminal in Mindelo.<\/p>\n\t\t

Road to Eito<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Porto Novo \u2192 Eito, Paul Valley<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The coastal road is the quickest. The old mountain road is the scenic option (6,000 CVE (~\u20ac55) per car). You can also be dropped at the Cova crater and walk down into Paul Valley in about 2.5 to 3.5 hours while your luggage goes ahead to the house.<\/p>\n\t\t

Guides and hiking<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

Hiking independently<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Santo Ant\u00e3o is safe to explore independently, and many hikes are easy to follow with a navigation app such as Komoot. Have a look at the available routes there for inspiration. A guide is therefore not essential, but can add much more to your hike: local stories, traditions, agriculture, history and everyday island life - while you simply enjoy the scenery without worrying about navigation.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Hiring a guide<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A guide costs from 7,000 CVE (~\u20ac64) per day. For several days together a discount is often possible.<\/p>\n\t\t

Do you need a rental car?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A rental car gives you the freedom to explore Santo Ant\u00e3o at your own pace and is especially useful for scenic drives and circular hikes. However, it is not essential. Taxis and shared minibuses are widely available, and some of the island's best-known hikes, such as the descent from Cova crater into Paul Valley and the coastal trail from Ponta do Sol to Cruzinha, start and finish in different places. For these hikes, local transport is more practical than returning to a parked car.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Car rental companies include Pegaso, Vale & Montanha and Dongo in Porto Novo, and Levamar and Olicorr in Paul.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
