The trek starts in a wide valley famous for its grogue distilleries to end at Caibros. The paved track will lead among yellow stones to the village of Riberao and then more up to the path of the narrow valley of Caibros with yearlong running water. The views from the top are great for such a short walk . Ribeira means river or rivers-edge in Portuguese.The area is known for growing tropical fruits and vegetables and we may see people at work in their fields.

Katharina S (From Germany)

We went hiking with Edson for five days in July. It was perfect! The advance organization via email and WhatsApp was very good, all our wishes were taken into consideration in detail and Edson recommended very varied and beautiful walks. Edson is an excellent guide with enormous knowledge of nature, culture and history, which he shared with us during the hikes. All of the tours were perfectly tailored to our abilities and were simply beautiful. Transfers were also great with safe cars and drivers. Walking in Sant Antão is a dream! With Edson as your guide, you will truly see the most beautiful places on the island and you won’t have to worry about anything. Everything was perfect.
